Was over the moon when my PBL-cum-clinical tutor commented I was well-versed in paediatrics during a mid-rotation formative feedback yesterday. It was quite surreal actually, to have a Fellow saying that knowledge-wise, I am almost at the level of a paediatrician(!!). My only flaw, she quipped, was perhaps my modesty and lack of confidence in my own strength(s).... so my "homework" for the remaining 4 weeks is to get out there, see as many children as possible and consolidate everything in clinical settings.
Given that I'm still quite afraid of unwell/unhappy children with equally unhappy/tired/anxious parents (seriously!), that was a timely morale boost for me!!!! =P
