I Think Your Job is Very Important

I think your job is very important

It’s 9 a.m. on Sunday morning. I just got home from my 12-hour pediatrics night call. I had all kinds of fun on my shift. The best part about being a fourth-year med student in a core rotation is that you can really shine. I know what to do. I’ve got skills. And my residents really appreciate the fact that I can anticipate what needs to be done, without having to be asked. I’m too tired right now to share any more than that. But I love the kiddies, and I don’t mind working 80+ hours a week when it means taking care of kids who need it. Now it’s sleepy time for me!

    If only adults would leave wonderful thank you notes like this, the world might be a happier place! Peds sounds rewarding.

    I’m not at all convinced that Ms. Bianca is objective in her declaration of *important jobs*. And given the number of kids portrayed in her sketch and lack of actual doctors, I think she may be a bit self-centered. I’ll bet if she spent some time downing martinis at my bar she would have a very different idea of who’s important and what-not. And don’t think this is sour grapes, because it isn’t, so there.
