Know Your Role!

I never thought that I'd be quoting Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the category of "Critical Life Lessons," but it seems that I have.

A little lesson: Chief Resident, Sr. Residents, Jr. Residents, Interns, then Sub-Interns (3rd year med students get a protective bubble).

That's me, Wayne, the one at the bottom of the totem pole. Our chiefs already told us that "the s**t rolls downhill," at the intern (and sub-intern) meeting on Friday. Remember where I am again?

So, already I have been accused of calling an attending by his first name (come on now... I call administrative assistants by their last name out of respect), and one of the jr/sr residents treats me like a five yr old... In any other context, I would have told these people about themselves and their mothers....
bUt I'm the sub-i, so I can't say "boo" and that, well that truly sucks....

Life, I suppose, or something like that.

If I learn nothing else from this rotation, it will be humility, patience, and sleep-deprivation.

Time continue the pain... Off I go to sleep, only to awaken in a few short hours.
