My senior resident for this next couple of weeks seems to be a little hard core. She is going to be the chief resident next year and has made herself a name amongst the other residents by being rigid. How does this affect me? If we have a slow afternoon or some time available a more relaxed senior resident may say "why don't you call it a day and go home early" and a rigid senior would say "why don't you stay late and write up a report on COPD and present it tomorrow during rounds" This is why students have such variable experiences on their rotations. You could rotate at the same hospital and have 2 different experiences based on who your senior resident is. I have had fairly decent senior residents and great interns up to this point on this rotation. We will have to see how this last couple of weeks go.
Tonight I have to prepare a presentation on hypertension and the criteria for diagnosis and treatment. I will give the presentation tomorrow. It should not be too difficult as the subject is not that complex and I have studied and had so many patients that I have treated with hypertension that I should be able to do the presentation without any extra reading.
