Medical Student Perspective Essay
Lessons From a Lawyer
During my clinical rotations, I noticed that my classmates were less confident answering direct questions: most found the experience to be stress inducing. To enhance my medical confidence and not be intimidated by attendings asking a litany of questions, which honestly reminded me of being back in court answering to a judge, I had a daily algorithm of arriving early, reviewing labs and imaging, and reading up on the various conditions affecting my patients.
