Silly Third Years, Trix Are For Kids

This is what's nice about having a mostly anonymous blog now; I don't need to worry about third years finding this and getting hurt. But basically I supervised a third year med student today while she did an annual exam (which includes a psych, social, substance use, and medical history as well as a physical exam), and I realized how much I've learned in the past year. She interrupted him sometimes and forgot details of his history and most noticeably, asked too much about unimportant details and didn't follow up aggressively enough on parts of the patient's history that needed further explaining. I remember not knowing what was important and what wasn't, and it feels good to have a bit better sense of how to do this whole medicine thing.
