The Intern Stories

[Alan Dwight]

These interconnected stories are a great read. While they are four separate stories, the characters all have some things in common. I enjoyed them all.

Agreed.  Some very inventive interning situations indeed.  I shall have to speak to my own primary care physician about getting with the program.  A great read:  http://awesomedude.com/cole-parker/on-the-job-training/on-the-job-training.htm

Thanks, guys.  No messages or point to these stories other than fun.

Shall we assume the first internship scenario, the one in the doctor's office, was meant to be more of a fantasy than reality? Not even a medical student can document a physical exam any more. The attending physician must verify all findings and document them personally. That is because if a medical student misses something do to inexperience, the attending physician can be held financially liable. Besides which, Medicare and other 3rd parties won't pay for an exam done by a trainee. A high school intern would never be allowed to do a physical exam, and that last item would be good for criminal prosecution. It sounds like it was fun though. 😀

Anyone reading any of those stories and not seeing them as fantasies should have his poetic license revoked.

Dang! I was convinced you'd fully researched this story... 😁

[Cole Parker]

In my mind, yes, but, unfortunately, only there.

Perfect.  That was my aim.  Good to know you've hit the mark.
