Comment on Beepers and Pagers and Phones… Oh, my! by Elizabeth

Elizabeth — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 02:44:34 +0000

Ahh the pager. Something that terrified me at the beginning of residency; now I’m used to it. I am so scared about the pager that I’m actually much better at answering it than my phone. So there you go– respect the pager, that little black box of terror. Would a phone make this better? Probably not.

At the end of it all, though, you have nothing but good choices. Don’t look back – all professions in medicine are noble. Once you pick one, dive in head first!

Thanks for the easy recipes. Your post about “pizza rule” for medical students was a good reminder for me to look after my own eating habits. Only now in my fourth year and near the end of my rotations am I finding the time to work off those clerkship pounds. Hopefully I’ll have a bit more foresight in residency.
