Dr. M.K. said this to me today:
"You graduate from medical school,
and you think you know everything.
Until you start internship.
Then you finish residency,
and you think you know everything.
Until you start fellowship.
Eventually, you finish fellowship,
and then you really think you know everything.
Until you meet your first patient.
So the key is not to know everything,
but to know how to find out anything."
I was feeling the burden of medicine last night when I had to go in at 2AM and again at 6AM to see a pt after he had assaulted another pt and 2 staff members--biting one of them.
