Here I am, the most important two weeks in Med 5 for the emergency medicine. They said, if you do not know what is going on these 2 weeks, you will kill patients when you become a doctor.
I 100% agreed that a house officer is the one who is responsible for keeping patients alive until next morning. Being the first one to receive calls, he should the first person to know the conditions of the patients, and to make a corresponding plan to ensure that the patients are not dying with reversible problems.
However, is it the reason that we have to attend every lectures in these 2 weeks? Actually, the professors in-charge have posted everything he talked in the lectures on the web. Moreover, we were given a book with red cover of which the content are not just covering the lecture materials but also some supplementary ones. It is well-written and terribly simple, and reading a chapter took one around 50 minutes. Even the lecturers kept saying during their time: The red book is all you need.
Despite that the professors stress on the importance of lecture. Therefore, we have a seating plan. We are required to attend every lectures. "My talk is very important. You cannot learn without it." Something similar was what he said to me, during a conversation.
Isn't it fun?
