My Last Clinical Rotation of Medical School | ND MD

And so the nearly 2 years of clinical rotations in medical school comes to an end with critical care (ICU). The critical care rotation, or ICU rotation of med school is arguably one of the most medically complex rotations in your pre-residency training. But it also comes with its own challenges that have nothing to do with medicine at all. Quite the curtain call to a long stretch of being in the hospital, but now we look to the next steps. Residency interviews, rank lists, and the match on the way. Thank you all for watching these clinical rotation vlogs and I hope you learned as much as I did.

Intern here that finished their ICU rotation. So far, ICU has been my favorite rotation during intern year. It's much more relaxed and more opportunity to think and reflect on what you want to do. The hardest part is delivering bad news or family meetings. However, take a palliative care rotation during intern year if you can. I learned a lot aobut myself on that rotation and learned how to talk about difficult topics. Most of the time, it's how you organize and discuss topics rather than what you necessarily say. The key to medicine is not to avoid the "difficult topics" or sad situations. You will always encounter those regardless of what specialty you go into. What I've learned is the importance of writing, reflecting, and learning to develop a good sense of humor. Most of all, it's learning to see that you can still do a lot of good for those who are dying. It matters more what you do to people than necessarily the outcomes. You can have patients die, but it makes a huge difference if you know in your heart that you did your best, you love them as people, and you aren't afraid to talk about them even after they pass. I see too many doctors and people try to avoid bad cases. In my experience, those are the cases that help you grow to become a better person. Avoiding them simply misses an opportunity to become a better person. I feel like intern year has taught me more about ignoring the BS of medicine and honing in on what matters. Sure, hours can be rough. But you can play the game. Find time to read papers, laugh, joke, text friends/family, exercise, set small goals, and focus on being a good person. These simple activities make residency much less daunting

Andy, as I noticed yiu said you have ADHD, How can a person with ADHD can go to medical school? My son is very very smart but shows some traits of being hyperactive and restless. I kinda realize that it’s almost impossible for me to dream he will become a doctor, I am always curious about ADHD and medical field path.

[@girliloveyou8248]

First one 😂😂😂😂finally

[@Toogaytoofunction]

Umm you don’t slow down and go into a “relaxed” life going into critical care 😂you should definitely do more research because critical care is a big part of anesthesia. Good luck
