The following day, we all rounded as usual. There was a point where it was just me and my intern. I asked her if she could give me some feedback on how i've been doing.
She said I've been doing really well. Everyone likes working with me. I've contributed a lot to the team. I've even brought up stuff that she never thought of, or come up with answers when the rest were stumped.
Since people sometimes mask the truth, I wanted to be extra sure. I told her what had happened in the computer room, and her mouth dropped to the floor. She asked who the resident was that said those things and I tried to describe him for her.
According to my intern, I don't suck at all. The resident who said that must have known I was the med student and said it on purpose as a joke.
Later that morning I presented a paper on acute kidney injury, then went off to med student conference as usual. That afternoon, my resident complimented me on my presentation.
I wonder if my intern told them what had happened.
Either way, I'm glad I asked. The only way I could change is to know exactly what needed to change. Sounds like I don't need to change a thing.
