Abstract
Dr. Q. is a 26-year-old second-year resident in pediatrics. She joined me in my office at noon, having come across the street from the Children’s Hospital, where she was now assigned to the emergency room. We talked at first through our BLTs, which I had ordered, wolfing them down in a few minutes and sipping away at the hot, acidic coffee that had been steeping in my outer office since 7:30 A.M. She was pleasant, cheerful, outgoing, and rarely at a loss for words. She seemed to enjoy the interview and to be pleased that anyone would really want to know the details of her daily life as a house officer. She was well groomed and dressed in whites that revealed only the rim of her crisp yellow shirt collar.
