IM: presentation

so today we were getting pimped on stuff and me and my fellow student disagreed with the attending on a particular point that we had read on the night before.  He was like "oh well, why don't you do a presentation for me in 3 days?"  So it was about Proton Pump Inhibitor Side effects (things like pneumonia, C. diff, and fractures).

So we did all this research on studies done about it. And put together a powerpoint and then the doc was all, well i forgot about your presentation so why don't you just present it tomorrow in front of the ENTIRE hospital at grand rounds. Besides peeing our pants, we were surprised. So we presented this in front of the entire hospital. We had print outs of the studies and out powerpoint and we had NO IDEA what we were supposed to say.  But I guess everyone was impressed. Residents came up to us after and said we did a really good job and the program director for IM said he wanted to write a letter to our dean. He actually wrote that letter and recommeded me for honors! Which is totally awesome!! YAY.
