Dear Intern:
For some bizarre reason, you appear to think that I am your secretary. Ahem. I AM NOT YOUR SECRETARY. The difference between us is that I am paying to learn, whereas you are being paid to do scut. Therefore, you must answer your own pager, do your own paperwork, check your own daily schedule, fetch and carry your own instruments, and manage your own lunch. If you would like my help with a task that directly contributes to patient care, try saying please and/or thank you.
And, while the lines of communication are wide open, I suggest that you get over yourself. You're arrogant enough to be an attending right now, but you have a few more years of training to endure before you can make everyone around you miserable.
Sincerely,
Your Medical Student
