one of the things i love about medicine is that every once-in-a-while i get a moment like this. a patient came in today with a rash on their arm. the doc and i happened to see this person together. we had both seen rashes like this before. this particular thing is pretty common and it can present several ways, but, for whatever reason, it just doesn't show up like this. however, it reminded me of something i'd read over a year ago. we left the room, and i looked up the name in a dermatology book. there it was. he said "i think you're right." and treated the patient accordingly.

that was it. there was no pat on the back, no "atta boy", but that's the cool thing. right then i didn't feel like a student. i felt like a doctor, like i was part of the team. something weird showed up, and i called it. i did my job.

it's the little victories that keep you going day after day.

YAY for you!!! I totally understand what you mean....except I'll never feel like a doctor cause I am not training to be onewink

Just a silly question though....why do I "rawk"?
