ID rotation

I'm currently on my Infectious Disease rotation. I thought it would be interesting to learn more about "bugs & Drugs" but it's not so fun after all! The first week was nice, I only had to show up for 3 days. My preceptor was intimidating at the beginning. I had to give him credit for it cuz he's really good at what he's doing and very knowledgeable, but I hate it when he ugh.. me when I don't have an answer for him and he'll have me look it up the next day. now, I know what he expects and he starts to back off a little. so far it's going okay and it's getting better!

I'm spending at least 12 hours a day for this rotation- 7 hrs at the hospital,2 hrs commuting,and 3 hrs reading the articles assigned each day on the different types of Infections. since my preceptor has high expectation,I'm also worried about being prepared for the next day, to be quizzed. If you ask any pharmacy student that's probably the avg. hr of work for a clinical rotation. yeah, I'm stressed, just 3 more weeks. I'll make it and I'll take his job ha ha...

Thanx honey for looking up-Mucormycosis for me, you're a big help!
