Wow. Saskatoon JURSI is a different flavor than Regina.
First of all, the attending I am with this week knows EVERYTHING about everything. Seriously. She is an Infectious Disease specialist, ran hospitals in Africa for years, knows everything about almost all specialities. She's brilliant. So naturally, my own lack of knowledge becomes painfully obvious when viewed in that light.
Second, we actually do real rounds here--I see my patients on my own in the morning, then in the afternoon the team rounds -- the attending, two residents, two JURSIs, a pharmacist and a pharmacy student. And thus on rounds the grilling of JURSIs happens. Quizzed and questioned, having to say all to often, "I dont know". This is a STRONG motivator to go home and study.
Third--its exhausting tromping around feeling as though you are incompetent ALL day. I think its that chronic feeling of "man I dont know ANYTHING, I have GOT to study more" that is really exhausting. Its not the physical walking around all day. Its mental exhaustion.
Fourth I realize I am going to be exhausted everyday for the next five to six years.
But even with all that--its still fun. Go figure.

Wow. I can't say I envy you. But they say you get the greatest fulfillment out of fulfilling your life's purpose.
And keep your chin up! There will be times of refreshing that will come along. :) God always sends them, it's in His Word. Acts 3:19. be blessed.
It sounds exhausting. You are one of the most energetic and capable people I know. Remember that you can do all things through Him who strengthens you. God bless.
