Liam is on the blue team at the hospital, it is a teaching hospital, so the Interns switch every 30 days. Thats fine, he still has the same attendings. This flipping Intern this morning said I was lying when I mentioned something that happened yesterday! And yesterday basicly said I did not know what I was talking about! When my SP told me what she said this morning I almost turned around and went to confront her. She has me soo pissed off right now, and I am supossed to be ok with her treating my son!! The part today with roounds that did put a smile on my face was when the attending was asking her questions and she did not know the answers to, but I did! HA!!! The attending was not to happy with her this morning either!! I could go on but vent over!

We'll miss you sweet Debbie Girl (4.21.12) and sweet Cindy Girl (8.9.12)
The intern needs to know this...you are THE expert on your child. He/she is now almost halfway into her 1st year, he/she needs to get with the program! My guess is (after seeing many residents/interns go through training) that the interns that have issues here and there have a hard time with residency in general, and they weed themselves out. You can't only have the booksmarts, you need to be good with people too, I don't think everyone realizes this...the intern you dealt with needs to understand this.
THIS!!!! A very important part of residency, esp. in peds, is learning how to interact with families. This intern needs to learn that having the families as her ally is the #1 thing she can do to take better care of her families. Don't hesitate to tell her how she made you feel or talk to the attending about it. Someone really needs to tell her to tone it down a notch. Sometimes at a teaching hospital the families and patients are the most important teachers!! ((HUGS))
