today, a list
1) My team's intern was at interviews all morning so I acted as pretend intern for my cardiology reg, who is a lovely guy and actually a bit more of an endearing dork than he first appears (how he first appears: tall, English, floppy hair, intimidatingly smart). I am a kickasss pretend intern. If you have good multitasking skills and the ability to mind-read even a little bit ("You want those two charts? I ANTICIPATED THIS, HERE THEY ARE ALREADY IN MY HANDS.") and a fantastic memory for small details like a patient's age/potassium level/insulin dose, it is hard to fail.
1a) My reg also had to buy me a coffee after rounds, because he made the mistake of saying that he would if I managed to spell 'dysdiadochokinesis' correctly. DUDE. Do not bet against me when it comes to spelling. Ask my third grade teacher. (Besides, the hard part is learning how to SAY dysdiadochokinesis without getting stuck somewhere around the fourth syllable, and I did that in second year.)
2) I picked up The Gift of Fear at the library for 50c, and I am reading that right now along with a glass of really quite terrible cheapo wine that I bought to put in last night's spag bol. I am definitely going to make my sister read it; I was worried it might be a bit victim-blamey and fear-mongery, but no: it's reasonable and interesting and definitely contains some valuable ideas expressed clearly.
3) GUESS WHO PASSED HER LONG CASE CLINICAL EXAM. GUESS WHO ONLY HAS FIVE WRITTEN EXAMS (heh, 'only') BETWEEN HER AND THE TITLE 'DOCTOR'.

TOTALLY TRUE. My job has entirely been about multi-tasking and efficiency. I've forgotten half of the stuff I memorised for my exams LOL. Also I think the vast majority of students know how to spell dysdiadochokinesis, just cos it's one of those hilarious words that everyone enjoys saying when they learn about it for the first time. Fail cardio reg. xD
