12 things I learned in 12 years of medical training: 1. The best doctors I've met say "I don't know" and look up the right answer with you. 2. History and physical is indeed the most important part. 3. Read the actual guideline before repeating what someone else told you. 4. Patients rarely remember your differential. They always remember how you made them feel. 5. Don't order a test unless you know what you'll do with the result. 6. If something doesn't make sense, ask. Embarrassment lasts a minute. Ignorance lasts much longer. 7. You'll spend years learning when not to intervene. 8. The more you learn, the less certain you become. 9. Some of the best teachers won't have the name "doctor" in front of them 10. Every doctor has blind spots. Every student has something to contribute. 11. Write down the pearls your attendings casually mention because that won't be in the textbooks. 12. Stay curious about every patient. The learning starts after you leave the room.
