Great stuff. And—Always be honest! If you forgot to review a lab result before rounds or forgot to do some physical exam maneuver, just take ownership and admit the mistake so everyone can move on. It's not worth sacrificing people's ability to trust you in exchange for looking sharp on rounds.

Just got home from a 18 hr shift as a new intern and am reading your post before I crawl into bed and get up to do it all again. This perspective is so very necessary for me in this moment, as I am very much in the proverbial weeds. Thank you!
