Or Why Is The Med-Student Pimping Me???
OK, so I get that you're a third year student. I get that you are doing your reading and that you've acquired a lot of very useful (and a fair amount of not so useful) medical knowledge. But you don't have to prove it to me by asking me questions and then telling me "Good job" or "That's right" when I get them right. Its MY JOB to get them right....Incredibly annoying.
I don't usually pimp students. I do ask questions, reinforcing what we've seen or have them come up with differential diagnoses. I like to have them work through mini-cases which I think is way more helpful than asking pointless questions like "What kind of media does campylobacter grow on and at what temperature?" But this afternoon I think I'm gonna have to change the game....Watch out kid, here comes the pimp.
