My First GP Placement

I was seriously considering doing GP for good, I mean, what beats sitting on your bum all day doing prescriptions and small itsy procedures and getting a couple grand a month watching your bank account roll?! Ok I was serious except for the bank account part. Really! Nah just kidding. For real! HAHA kill me now...Yeah I was saying, I wanted to do GP for real,( that or ophthalmology. or dermatology.) until I met Bruce Ingram.

Which was, and will be the doctor supervising me for my GP placements.

Wow.
He brings sarcasm to a bloody level.

So there I was observing a patient, and I ASSURE you I was not zoning out, and he asks :' What joint is this?' Pointing to his 1st metacarpophalngeal joint. Which was what I said.

*Doctor rolls eyes* And when the patient left, he said, " It's the LEFT, FIRST metacarpophalyngeal joint" FML

Ok that was Mean Statement 1. I may sound overly-sensitive but trust me it gets worse. Along the other mean statments was " I don't mean to be critical of you, but your course really needs to up the anatomy"..Gee that didn't hurt. NOT!

Mean Statement 2: What murmur is this? I answer: Diastole? Doctor: You had 2 shots to get it right. And you didn't.

Mean Statement 3: Is it due to valve stenosis or incompetence? I answer: Incompetence? Doctor: Again, no prize for that answer.

What is this? Shoot Gwen Day? I felt ridiculously stupid at this point. nd I forgot the name of the Dorsalis Pedis Pulse, dammit what was it, 2 years ago? How am I supposed to know how to diagnose a woman with high Calcium levels, lethargy and constipation? Do I look like a DOCTOR to you? Hellooo I am in 3rd year. Which means I have ZERO medical knowledge, in other words. Ok that, or I really am stupid :(

I could go on forever about the nasty remarks he gave me, but it would take up 3 pages. Oh well. Like what hubby and Lizzie says, it's all in a day's work, and I can't bring work stress home..I am stressed ok, and I have the icky cold sores to prove it :( But that scores me free massages from hubby so I'm not complaining! Yay! :)

Oh well. I could say he made me miserable but why let a grouchy ol poohead ruin my day. After all I only have what, another 8AGONIZING HOURS with him, I can live with that :)

Lady Gaga post coming up!
