One day on a peds shift, I was working with a new doc, Dr. B. It was the Sunday after my crazy interview/board exam week and had worked a 12 hour peds shift on Saturday [the day before] so needless to say, i was pretty tired! I was pretty run down and sick and it was pretty hard to pretend to be happy, spunky, and hard working while feeling like crap. But, i still hit the ground running when i got to my shift and apparently it showed.
In the afternoon, Dr. B walked up to me, looked at my ID and said "Your a medical student?"
"Umm, yes? What did you think I was?"
"Well you are performing at an intern level. Your presentations are wonderful and your just doing a great job and I had to stop and tell you that. I hope you will give me an evaluation to fill out about you. "(conversation continues about where I'm from, what I'm going into and him sellin the program to me!)
Then at the end of my shift another doctor took the time to stop me, thank me, and write down my name so she could remember me for my evaluation.
it was a great pick-me-up!
