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.
