You studied the theory.
You revised the symptoms.
You imagined confidently diagnosing patients…
Reality?
You forgot how to take history.
The patient spoke in 3 different dialects.
You couldn’t even pronounce the case name.
You held your stethoscope like a spoon.
The consultant asked ONE question and your soul left your body.

And “I’ll go back and read this tonight” becomes the biggest lie. 
But hey, day by day, patient by patient, it gets better.
You’re not just learning medicine you’re learning how to be a doctor.
