Bad day

Why are there residents out there who seem to forget what it was like to be a student??!!! I'm get tired of being treated like I am inconsequential and ignored on a team yet, always yelled at for not doing something I didn't know I was supposed to do or getting yelled at for doing something that I apparently wasn't supposed to be doing. Surgery is notorious for being rough on students but this month has been particularly rough. There is a resident on my surgery team this month that is irritating as hell. Arrogant, rude, condescending...just about every stereotypical personality trait of a surgeon that one could think of. And he decided today was a good day to be rude to me. I don't feel like going into details because I just vented to Zach for the last 20 minutes about him because he had him as a resident when he did his surgery rotation. All I know is that I worked my ass off today for nothing and he is the most unappreciative, arrogant person I've ever met.

Sometimes as a student you get really sick of the residents talking about the patients and a plan for the patients but not including you in the discussion or explaining why they are doing what they are doing. This happens frequently and then the students never have any idea what is going on with the patient, yet get yelled at for "not knowing about this patient!"

On top of all that, I am on call tomorrow and have to work with this particular resident again :(

I don't try to complain much on this blog but today was a pretty crappy day and that fact that I have to go back tomorrow is painful to think about right now....
