1st Day of Sub-I

Hello, everyone!

I haven’t been around much lately. The past few weeks were spent trying to prepare for Step 2 CK. I took my exam last Monday. Today was the first day of my internal medicine sub-I.

I’m planning on going into Internal Medicine, so I hope to do well during this month. Sub-I is short for sub-internship. Since I’m now a 4th year and will be graduating in less than a year, I am expected to be functioning fairly close to the level of an intern. 

And apparently, interns love it when they hear they have a sub-I joining the team. I guess this means that I am expected to carry my weight on the team. 

I should really drop some lbs. Har har har — just had to throw that one out.

They assigned me 2 ICU patients today. Upon realizing this, the interns asked me if I could handle it. They wondered if I wanted to trade one of my ICU patients for a non-ICU patient. 

Before I could answer, my senior replied that I’d be fine. After all, I’m a 4th year now. 

One day in; am I missing being a 3rd year already?

Nah! I can do it.
