They didn't call the 4th year of medical school clerkship for nothing. As should be expected, a lot of writing takes place, hence called clerks. Since starting my clerkship (2 months PTE), I have already consumed almost 2 rims of bond paper, and countless ballpens.
But I'm not going to elaborate now about the differences between regular clerks and medical clerks. However, there are worthy things of note that each of us junior interns should basically know, and should master-- English grammar, and more importantly, SPELLING. This is the part whom most take for granted. Speaking is easy because even if the grammar is wrong, one is still able to pass the message across--and one doesn't have to worry about how words are spelled.
But the written documents, our histories and PE's, should be properly spelled, else, they would mean something else. The funny thing with this batch is that those words that tend to be misspelled are actually simple words encountered everyday. I have taken note of a few to remind myself not to be a victim of "spelling boos"...lol
