A Lot to Learn

Yesterday I donned my dreaded short coat and my "dressed to the coat" clothes, and headed to 5 South to interview a patient. My first challenge was to find said 5 South, which, this being my second time in the new hospital, was a bit more difficult than it sounds. Then, I went in to do a full H&P on my patient. It took an hour and a half, and I still walked out and realized I had skipped a lot of stuff (checking lymph nodes, CN VIII, asking about allergies, etc). So, here I am, hopefully going to be a M3 in a few short months, and I can't get a simple history and physical on a very nice lady with colon cancer right. I sure hope this all "comes to me" soon...
