The resident urge to leave medicine and open a bakery.

Physicians on the front lines of the #pandemic face demoralizing conditions, including angry misinformed patients. @RanaAwdish @HFHPulmCC writes eloquently of the struggle to hold onto yourself and your values in these difficult times. https://t.co/lxCLtuYF20 #COVIDburnout

#TipsForNewDocs

When examining/doing a procedure on a sedated or unresponsive pt, address them by name and narrate your actions.

It’s good to keep in the habit, it’ll remind you they’re a person, and you never know what they might absorb even if unconscious.

@williamkellymd Learn everything you can about the physical exam this year!! Soon people will assume you know what you’re doing and you owe it to your future patients to be prepared. And once you’ve done hundreds of normal exams, you won’t miss the abnormal.
