Advice for a new doc on the block!

Hello, Swell Universe. This is Jason Schon, and I am a recent medical school graduate, and I will be starting my internship in internal Medicine on Wednesday. And I would like to hear your stories and any tips, advice, experiences that you've had in the hospital with young doctors. And I'd like to learn from them. Thank you very much. Looking forward to hear what you have to say

Congratulations! 2 words: humility and courage

Everything else is secondary and nowhere else can. I think of a better time for this than the beginning of residency when, of course, as you know, you need to follow strict path and need to follow a line and can't stray from it. Ever remembering that the life that you want to live and how you want to practice and how you want to treat your patients will one day be your decision and not that of your attending physicians

But I requested for another ultrasound at a different hospital. And that technician, she was like a 50 plus year old woman. She laughed and said, how could someone not see this baby? There she is resting very happily. And so it was a week of trauma and $3,000 that I blew. So that's that story. And then there was the other one wherein this is a different doctor. I was having some stomach issues which were baffling

The talk to me was very blunt and matter of fact, I like straight talk, and I like blunt, but to the point where it just felt like I was a case number and just a case study just was disheartening to me. And I had the head of neurosurgery do my surgery at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Frederick Meyer. And, boy, you talk about just humility and just understanding that you're a human being

#Congratulations!

Dr. Sean, I forgot to mention Congratulations. I did want to congratulate you. What a huge step. And I can't imagine ever thinking that you would enter your residency under these circumstances, under this entire environment. But I did want to congratulate you. And thank you. And just the post alone tells me your head is in the right place and looking very forward to hearing more. I thank you
