MSIII: Day 5

Our last day of General Orientation for MS3! We were given lots of advice from residents and from current MS4s. Overall rules for Surgery Clerkship (which is where I begin my year) are:
1.) Work hard. All day. Every day.
2.) Sleep when you can.
3.) Eat when you must.
4.) Don't fart when you're in the OR for a bowel surgery.

Another little pearl of advice: "When you feel like you don't want to bother someone with a question or ask for help, remember: There are only 2 people that pay a whole lot of money to be in the hospital - patients, and you."

Upon concluding the Orientation, we were given our pagers. 
"Welcome to the Team"

...and my first night on call will be in less than 2 weeks!
