Hey everyone. I hope that everyone is doing well. It's funny to be back in southern California after being away. Admittedly I miss many of my friends. I started my Cardiology rotation earlier this month. I've loved it so far. The attendings have been very patient and gracious in taking their time to teach us. I also met with one of my best friends last weekend, and we ended up discussing how her work environment is. She indicated that in the past older employees were ....how shall I say it, not as gentle with her as she would have liked during the initial phases of training. In fact, she learned very quickly since one of her employees outright said to her that anyone else's time was worth more money than her own so she should be more careful when asking for another person's help. And now that I think about it, that makes all these people who have been so helpful toward me that much more gracious. Back in school, when all you do is learn, you are theoretically paying all these people for their efforts in teaching you. And now that I'm in residency and visiting departments that aren't getting paid to teach me, I appreciate all their knowledge and efforts to teach me so much more. *sigh* So much to learn.
