"Few things i learned during internship..
You don't need to know all about medicine and
surgery. All u need is a stethescope.
No matter if it's working or not.
You'll have to work
under atleast one unit head
... whom u'll want to beat the shit out...Grow a thick
skin.if u fail to do that, u will have to cry often..
They say it as assisting the surgeon, but u r just the
'retractor dumbass' in the Gen Surgery OT..
And in Ortho OT u r the 'limb holder dumbass'.
You may go sleep deprived during Gen Medicine or
Surgery posting.
Find time to take some power naps during the GCs and get up with those funny imprints on ur face.
Inbetween, if u get time to go out for a lunch or
dinner,don't forget to remove ur apron and
sthescope..u'l look like an ass .
If u have OCD about
washing hands, this is for u
dear.. one day you'll have to eat your lunch soon after
doing a PR examination..
During the 2 months of OBG
posting, u'll be treated
like shit, and that shit runs downhill. Be ready to pick
it up and sleep with it..
You'll do a lot more excersises
than u actually did in ur whole life. By walking and running up the stairs..
There's a fair chance that u'll lose some kgs..
Ever asked a stranger if he has farted within last 24
hours?..hmm well, U'll have to ask it to the post op
patients..no worries u allready have grown that thick
skin.
If ur unit head scolds u or piss u off..stay calm..It's like an irresistable desire to itch where ur hands can't
reach. Go to the nearest toilet and bring his image to
ur mind and ask at top of ur voice ''asshole stop it. U are not my dad to scold me''
Make sure that nobody is hearing u.
When u go to the barbar shop, u may wonder why the barbar is not asking u for a written informed consent.
During one of ur major postings, ur room might go all messy and uncleaned for one or 2months..and again who cares. u r not sleeping there anymore.
Never ignore your unit head's call..he can make ur life hell..Atleast pick the phone and place it somewer
on the table,if u r allergic to his voice.
Whatever happens in the ward or OT, it's allways the
intern's fault.admit that.and even if sum1 says that u r
the one who did the 9/11 trade centre attack, admit
that too..boy u r the intern.
You'll one day wake up in the middle of the night and
walk to ur room mate and look for his bowel sound.
During your psychiatry posting, if u hear a
patient complaining that he has been on edge because he has'nt been getting much sleep and has an intense desire to kill some1,,u'll just think about urself and say ''asshole it's normal''.
Whatever happens, internship is allways the best and funniest period of our college life.
