See One, Do One, Teach One

Monday, July 6, 2009 |

So yours truly has finally gotten her slaves, ahem, student interns, today. Reminds me of a time not too long ago when I was enthusiastic, when being allowed to catheterise, set plugs, take bloods made my day.

There's a saying in medicine - see one, do one, teach one. when I first read it early in medical school, I didn't quite believe that such a thing could happen. But it does - you watch one or two, get an offer to try one or two, and then go ahead and start teaching others. (Should I be saying this on a public blog? Heh) But it is kinda nice to be able to teach, although my skills are limited for now.

I'm looking forward to my first lumbar puncture!

If you've only seen one, you must have been a lazy medical student.

If you've only done one, you can't be a very hardworking houseman.

If you've only taught one, you... er, someone else finish this?
