I often wonder what I will be like as an attending physician someday. On call last night I witnessed the following conversation between my resident and the on-call attending:
Resident: "This patient came in presenting with right upper quadrant pain, nausea, vomiting and..."
Attending: (waving hand in front of resident's face) "These aren't the droids you're looking for."
Resident: "...on exam she had moderate tenderness to palpation with a positive murphy's sign and..."
Attending: (repeating hand motion) "These are not the droids you're looking for."
Resident: "Okay. Yes, I'm familiar with Star Wars."
I guess I can be however I want. It's going to be great!
