she whines about how hard she has to work, she gets mad when she is paged, is rude to the nurses, she cries and sobs when things get overwhelming to her (which is often, and for pretty minor things), and she is divving up the notes she has to write to me, her resident, saying "we should split up the notes FAIRLY." And if i offer her a suggestion for improvement, she gets upset and doesn't talk to me anymore.
I recall as an intern working much harder than she's had to (since i end up picking up her slack and doing most of the tasks myself since she has a serious problem with appropriate prioritization), without even thinking about feeling sorry for myself (ok maybe once or twice the whole year). Furthermore I would always be reluctant to even LET my resident do notes for me, not to mention the thought of MAKING my resident do notes for me never even crossed my mind!! This is how most of my colleagues have been as well. . .we face our challenges and get through them without whining!
Anyway, just a vent, and PLEASE interns, DO NOT BE LIKE THIS INTERN!!!
This is going to be a long month.
