Today was my first day as a 4th year. (It was very strange to continuously introduce myself as such.) Of course, someone had to be intubated. (It was terrible, I had no idea what to do, as the patient panicked about not being able to breathe. Oh man.) I suppose it's an improvement over my first day as a 3rd year, when someone died in the OR right before I was supposed to scrub in with the attending who had been working on the case.
