I’m 125 hrs into my medic internship. In class I could easily write down a plan of action that was usually on the right track. Now that I’m in the field I find myself getting distracted. I can only think of a couple assessments on the spot. For example, putting a 12-lead on a patient with chest pain and getting stuck when it comes back normal. I also didn’t palpate his chest and totally forgot to get a BP. On the other hand when I know “for sure” (insert air quotes) what’s going on, I don’t end up looking for anything else that it could be. Does anyone have any ideas? I really need to fix this.
