Am I a bad person

tommymac · 02-09-2009, 03:16 AM

if i make a less than motivated medical student see all the patients esp the drunken homeless ones?

Kids realy wearing on my nerves and has no real work ethic. Comes in asking where he can get food, starts his shift then disappears for food and is askign about sneaking otu early.

bad enough he will get a crummy eval might as well make him suffer a little

No not at all....

I see kids my age with no motivation, no discipline, no work ethic.... and it pisses me off to even be around them, let alone work with them.

What happened to dreams and goals today? Do people expect to just get rich by doing noth....... wait dont answer that, because its true. The "American" way i guess.

I was raised better i guess.

Nope. I say give him hell. If he can't handle it, he doesn't need to be in the profession.

Is this a residency tour, or is he just getting a little OJT? If it's residency and he thought that he could EVER skate early, then he's in for a serious wake-up call. No?

hes a 4th year medical student doing a required rotation. Found out hes going into psych (or at least thats the residency hes applied for) so that may explain a few things. I was looking ot leave work early to get to th eothe rjob and he slike cool when do we leave

I will have fun filling out his eval.

the funny thing is most of th emedical and PA students comming though are prety motivated, or at least fake it since i write their evals. this kid has since disappeared so hes realy digging his own grave.

A while back I had 2, 3rd year medical students on their first rotations. these gys were a riot. they didnt know much becasue it was their first rotation but they wanted to do everything. I had to keep an eye on them so they didnt draw blood and do IV's on everybody

they were tough to teach because ER is not a good rotation to have first (less of a medical and surgical knowledge base) but I loved their attitude and motivation.

Keep the motivated ones away from day shift before they slowly morph into the lazy group.
