STORY TIME

So I am a female human being. I have short hair.


I am giving a presentation at a community center to a group of older adults (geriatrics amirite). I have a microphone. I am speaking. Suddenly, from the elderly gentleman sitting at the table immediately to my left comes:

“WHAT IS HE SAYING??”


I wish I could say this wasn’t the second time that DAY that I was misgendered by these people.


OK edit: To be fair, I am the type of gay that LOOKS gay, you know? And old people are confused as it is so 🤷🏼‍♀️

THINGS I AM LEARNING ON CLINICALS

1: You’ll be wrong sometimes. You’ll be right sometimes. But usually when you’re right, you’re also wrong, so it’s all a wash - make sense? idk

2: Patients are going to say some RUDE shit. Just make sure they don’t say it in front of other patients.

3: Working for free is degrading. I don’t care what your university tells you about how the experience is “priceless”; getting to the end of a 45 hour work week unpaid is actually one of the worst experiences.

4. That being said, it’s true what they say: you learn best by doing something. over and over and over and over

5: You’re might actually miss the safety of the classroom.

6: But there really isn’t anything like walking someone through some painful, shit-ass surgery and hearing them thank YOU personally for your help. Honestly, the first time that happens changes things. 

7: You’ll figure it out someday. There are just some things that you cannot learn from a textbook. Some things just come with time and experience.

Anyone else have their clinic voice on speed dial in case you see a patient outside of the clinic 🤷🏼‍♀️
