attending: "so, you think this infant has TB. how are you going to diagnose him?"
student: "get a sputum culture?"
attending: "infants don't give nice sputum cultures like adults do."
student: "where does the sputum go?"
attending (looking directly at student): "where does the sputum go?"
student (wondering why attending was repeating the question): "where does the sputum go?"
attending: "where DOES the sputum go?"
student: "i don't know. where does the sputum go?"
attending: "you tell me. where does the sputum go?"
student: "................"
i was watching this movie-like exchange, racked with laughter. the student was pissed off, wondering why the attending kept asking HER, when SHE asked the question. the attending didn't want to give the answer, but wanted the student to discover it herself.
why do attendings do this? do they think that we ask the question when we know the answer? we ask questions because we don't know the answer, you MORON.
they hold back information like it would HURT them to just give us knowledge. no, they like to watch us squirm and twist, and fumble about, trying to guess what little detail the attending might be holding in his mind.
as bry suggested, the student should have said, "WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME? I DON'T WANT TO PLAY YOUR STUPID GAME. I ASKED FIRST!!"

things that make me sad: to see a young teenage girl ruin her life by doing stupid things. like smoking her lungs out. like sneaking out and having unprotected sex. and subsequently having abortions. at 14. FOURTEEN.
when i talk with her, she is so sweet, such a nice, well-behaved girl. i want to just look into her eyes and ask, "WHY? WHY? WHY are you throwing your life away?"
:(

took a nice 2 hr nap in our call apartment. so nice. when i woke up, i just lay in bed for awhile. letting the world slowly soak in. it was a little wet outside, very green. birds were chirping. the world seemed peaceful. life in peds is good.

monopoly. what a game, what a game. one power move determined everything. you know what i love about games like monopoly and risk? it's all about relationships. developing trust, friendship. conceding easily when you must, gain allies. then when the time is right, you MOVE IN FOR THE KILL.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
too bad i lost.
