Internal Medicine pre-placement panic

My heart sank just now as I see in my calendar that I begin my IM rotation in 2 weeks. I really do not feel prepared. If it wasn't the local hospital I'm trying to impress, and the home of my mentor, then I wouldn't care so much.

I asked my colleagues what to read before I go in and they said:

  • pneumonia
  • diabetes
  • hypertension
  • COPD/asthma
Maybe a few others.

When I read this topics I think of yeh, I get it, but my mind isn't in driving mode. It's in passenger mode. I'm not in the midst: oh what would I prescribe and how much. I don't know how to explain it. It's past my bedtime.

Ok another post about my pre-placement panic and what I'm doing about it tomorrow (I hope).
