Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
Attendings would round with us in the morning and at sign-out (both were bedside rounds). The fellow was always around to help out. Residents were primarily responsible for the patients, but they were less comfortable than they are on the floors. Attending teaching sessions were very good, but they often disagreed on the best treatments. |

I learned a lot about ventilators, but did not get to start as many lines as I had hoped. |
