Senior Epic Fail

We got to doors of one of our patients this morning and my co-senior and I turn to the interns and say, “Who saw this patient?”

They all look bewildered….

No one saw this patient.

So we go to the next one I slip in and pre-round and in a matter of about 4.5 mins examine the child, review his vitals and labs.  I present without ever disrupting rounds.

Its every senior’s nightmare to find out that your interns have dropped the  ball so completely.. I have forgotten what it is like to be a new intern.
