上午上班的時候,大家都問我那個病人怎麽回事情,我覺得很羞愧因為我隻能說,i didn't run to the code, 那種自責和羞愧就一直籠罩著我,雖然我的住院醫生什麽都沒說,但是我知道我的行為一定讓他失望了。
中午我們就開始不停地收病人,我和住院醫生都沒有吃中飯,一個接一個地看病人,分析病情,下醫囑。下午的時候主治醫生過來了,我需要向他present我們收的病人,但是腦子裏亂哄哄的,很多信息拚不到一起,最後assessment and plan的時候,我幾乎說不出什麽了,隻是重複著一兩個可能性。attending睜著灰藍色的大眼睛,靜靜地看著我,一個月的培訓,他耐心的指導,我還是隻能做到這樣,一種失望自暴自棄的感覺不可遏止地控製了我。attending注意到了我的異樣,說are you OK?我點點頭說是的。
新病人不斷地來,我的拷機不斷地響, ICU的,病房的,藥房的,忽然門診電話給我,說門診有病人,我才想起來,今天下午我還有門診。住院醫生讓我先去門診,我拿著筆記本電腦匆匆趕去門診,一個我從來沒看過的,上屆畢業的住院醫生的老病人,已經等了很久了,nurse很不開心,我知道自己沒有借口,just simply forgot。等到我匆匆瀏覽了所有的病人病史,敲開診斷間的門,卻看見一個醫學生已經在看了。我去了門診staff的辦公室,他說因為病人等久了,他們就讓醫學生去看了。staff說,please never forget your patient.我道了謙,跟他說我今天on call,他說我可以先去忙了,今天我隻有一個病人。
提著電腦走回急診室的路上,我的情緒低落到了極點, feels like I can't achieve anything, so cluelss。其他intern好像都很organized,該幹什麽就幹什麽,從容不迫,好像隻有我天天忙來忙去,卻還是紕漏百出。
You will be fine because you do care the patients!

Go conquer, brave gal, sky is the limit for you.
Never minded your whining, in fact greatly admire your courage for putting yourself in a fish bowl and self-deprecatingly parsing through your mistakes. Takes a lot of courage to do that, as most of us who make mistakes would never want to mention it to a living soul. Being open, trusting and humble are good virtues to keep, and you have them all.

Sometimes what you think of yourself is not necessarily how others think of you. It does not always correlate. And the fact you are very conscious about everything is because you do care about your work and want to do a good job.
Before I started, I once said to a secretary that new interns look fine working on the floor. And she said they just look fine but deep inside they are thinking "oh my god, how am I going to survive this job? Did i do everything right?" She's been in program for 15+ years. She told me everyone looks fine when they first start but they all feel horrible.
You will be fine and I have faith in you!!!

:((( typed a lot, but lost when i tried to .
tabby, i went to eat after i wrote this, that's why i was not online. i can understand your friend's crying, i am not suprised at all. what most bothers me is the feeling of being the weakest among my intern peer, i could not help comparing myself with them, and get more frustrated and anxious. the only way to correct it is to study more, work more and grow up more quickly. this is so called silly bird flies first? hehe. i just bought some books, including harrison principle and some other books, really need to catch up.
流水浮萍,thank you, i will work hard and stop whinning, i am actually very lucky to have patient resident and attending, all i need to do is to absorb the information as quick as i can.
damao, long time no see! i miss columbus, don't forget to go Yao's kitchen on 10th street, i miss there, also the nice parks.
wuximm, is that you and your kid? hehe. you are right, i should be there during the code, i feel terribly guilty. it won't happen again. i don't think i criticized myself too much, compared to my league, i have a lot to learn. i will try to be patient and stay strong. thank you.
擁抱陽光,i like this name. thank you for reading and leaving the sweet messages here. I harvest a huge amount of encouragement from my blog, maybe we will never meet in real world, but you and other friends are part of my spritual life, you cannot even imagine how important this blog means to me. therefore, no need to thank me for writing, because I gain much more than I give here.
大皇,i hope so, tomorrow i am on call, my last call in my first month, hopefully everything finishes smoothly.

It is so nice to see people here are encouraging each other for the same great american dream to come true.
I have been reading your blog for quite a while and I really like your sharing of experience about the way to become a doctor here. Every chinese person here all experience lots of frustrations. I know what a simple encouragement means to me especially when there is nobody to rely on. I can see you're growing up through your writings. Comments by the friends here also encourage me a lot!
I just know that you are already a very good resident. But we always need improvement to achieve our dream. I believe you can do it, so firmly!
不是中文諺語翻譯的。
put your head down,我的理解是專心做事情,不要想太多,一般會說put your head down and get your job done.
stay foolish and stay hungry是蘋果公司老板steve jobs在2005年斯坦福畢業典禮上說的,我的理解是stay foolish so you are eager to learn, stay hungry, so you are eager to eat,說的是一種工作態度。在那個典禮上麵他因為宣揚讀書無用論+說粗口被人趕下台,轟動一時。
I can palpate your pain today. I see myself in your shoes again. Hospital always call for code and you hope it is not one of your patients, so you can finish your work. They should call code with location so that you know for sure if it is yours. Code situation is very intense and they usually have plenty of helps, but it would be nice if you were there to show your moral support for your resident and it is also important for you to get used to the situation. Forget your clinic day, it is understandable and remember it next time. I think you should not overly blame yourself. This is my experiences, American born residents never admit any wrong doing even it is obvious and always blame somebody else's fault. So, they can mentally get over with quickly, while we tend to blame ourself too much, so that affect our performance. If you really feels bad, tell your resident in good day and he will understand. Anyway, no harm has been done, one clinic pt wait a little bit longer, so what, it happens. One didn't survive the code. What is the statistics of pt in hospitals survive the code? less than 10%, among that 10%, how many ever will walk out hospital?
I consider you a very responsible, self disciplined and hard working resident. You criticized yourself way too much. Easy on yourself, you will drastically improve soon. Hug!
I saw myself. My supervisor always think I'm talented but I just kept disappointing him. I knew my problem but I didn't know how to solve it. Until he left my company I realized what I should do. I wish I knew this before his leaving.
Talk to your attending, ask for his true opinion and discuss how to improve. You need a better plan and better attitude, just like you said, you need to be organized, otherwise your advantage of strong knowledge would be covered by those "small mistakes" which are not "small" at all.
I can see you are in a bad cycle now, mistakes make you feel bad and stressed, then you lose your motivation, look for short cut and later on make more mistaks.
The only thing which can drag you out of this cycle and relax yourself is to make some progress in your work.
Always feel stressed is not good, it makes you always feel you need relax and be comforted. Forget about stress, don't look for shortcut, do whatever you supposed to do.
Put your head down, stay foolish and stay hungry, this is so true.
