Really
easy: let them play physicians! For the last two weeks, my colleagues and I are
dispersed everywhere in the province, in community hospitals and medical
clinics, to see patients and practice physical exam. Remember I told you in
February that I didn’t see the end of it? Well, that’s over. I am now back to
my super-motivate-self!
At this
point in our training, it is impressive how much we progressed since the beginning. I don't feel we are going to see such a huge change ever again. One of my mentors says that we are learning right now is like putting decoration in an house (or icing on a cake). We have the basis, just need to improve what we already know. At this point, we can see almost any patient in primary care, and figure out some of the
differential diagnosis. We still have so much to learn,
but it is really a motivation-booster to be able to see the progress we’ve made
so far.
I feel we
are going to be whole bunch of great physicians one day!
