I made the grave mistake on radiology of not noticing when another resident walked in the room, once. I thought I was finally being addressed, as a person in the room, but they just kicked me out of my chair and proceeded to ignore me for the rest of the morning.
P.S. the only thing worse than having nowhere to sit is when the attending makes you sit on the exam table towering over everyone in the room. (Thanks, but I think I'll cower in the corner over here where you just might forget I exist and therefore, just maybe to pimp me....)
You forgot janitor and cafeteria lady. Both get to sit before the med student as well.

As a nursing student, I'd say that we probably come AFTER med students if it makes you feel any better!

ReplyDeleteAs a now retired nurse who has worked in teaching hospitals, this is classic teaching hospital hierarcy and the non-status of the medcial student.
