Tired of being quzzied by MDs

[UTRN2005]

I'm so tired of being quizzed by MDs during rotations. I always feel like I have to pass a test before someone will talk to me as a person rather than an idiot student. The only specialty that hasn't done this to me is psych. Anyone else had this type of experience where you have to pass a test before the docs will talk to you?

I would have preferred for him to ignore me if he was going to treat me and speak to me in the way he did. This was not a positive interaction, nor was he attempting to teach. In teaching if someone is wrong you tell them what was wrong, why it was wrong and then let them know the correct answer. He did none of these. He merely spoke to me as if I was clueless and was not deserving of being in his presence. I would much prefer no interaction to one that degrades me and my intelligence. Additionally, there is no medical school in the city I live in, therefore there is no way he should have confused me with a medical student, especially since I was actually in the room while the woman was laboring, something doctors do not tend to do.

During my clinicals, whenever I saw a doc, I'd ask him/her questions right off the bat -- they like answering, they think you're intelligent for asking, and I can't recall ever being quizzed by an MD.
