My first day as intern: A short story

Hyping myself up before my shit and reminding myself I worked hard af to be here

Me after doing a decent job presenting my first case and ordering labs and meds

Me after getting my first semi complicated patient for whom I had no clue wtf to do

Performing COVID swab on pt with a very covid like story

Hearing my name over the PA system the first time

Hearing my name every time afterwards

Me Everytime my patient screamed my name thru the whole ED whenever she had even a bit of breakthrough pain....every 5 mins

Me at 1055 when a patient's family member called to tell me they were gonna call me back to explain something to them again

Getting home

Waking up this morning
