Fat Doctor describes an adorable new resident. My recent July interaction was not so adorable. Last friday, the new intern barged in to a hospital room and ordered me (no white coat, but the stethy around my neck should have tipped her off that I was not Cousin Vinny) and the patient's husband out of the room while she examined "my patient." The brash over-confidence and paternalism that comes with adornment of the new white coat is an unfortunate disease we continue to fight.
Yeh – I gave her a talking to … ever so gently reminding her that humility will earn her far more stars …
