Since starting the ACS rotation, which is the rotation in which we get our exposure to anaesthetics, intensive care, and emergency medicine (the traditionally “high stress” specialties) I have found myself drinking what is for me a huge volume of coffee.
Normally I just drink coffee socially, but this rotation (far more so than during previous rotations) we seem to stop for a cup of coffee (of the really really average instant variety) every time we don’t have anything specific to do. I even got slightly jittery one afternoon. Basically, med school is recaffeinating me.
