The Silver Lining

Some days it's difficult being the med student.

You put pressure on yourself to perform well, especially when you're in the specialty you want to pursue. In the process, your nerves are your undoing on something as simple as a patient presentation.

You try and take the initiative and remove a wound dressing, only to find out it wasn't supposed to be removed yet.

You know the answers to all the questions except the one you are asked by your resident.



The silver lining? When your patient tells you you're going to be a good doctor.
