What a ride.
I’m still trying to process, but the past week has involved so many first’s.
First time hearing myself addressed as, and introducing myself, as “doctor.”
First time prescribing a medication.
First time administering medication.
First time intubating.
First time crying at work.
First time answering, and sending, a page.
First time cross-covering 6 surgical services overnight.
First time answering placing an order–and getting the order wrong.
First time getting paid as a physician!
I’ve learned so much, and am trying to lean into that growth mindset. I can’t wait to see what’s in store.
