Okay, so working with Ross students wasn't bad at all. There's one other Sabanite so you're not there by yourself. Once we got to know them our group was a pretty cool crew. Most did not know much at all about Saba and had a lot of questions. In the end I think they gained a lot of respect for us.

Patient load - you don't get to do much on the rotation, but you may very well see a wide range of pathology (due to the low socioeconomic status of most of the population). Patient load is miniscule. Most of the time you can't even write progress notes (same at Lincoln). I think the most I had was in my last couple of weeks, on the adolescent and general wards - I followed maybe two patients.

I think one of the most frustrating things was watching all of these people on medicaid coming in all blinged and Nike-ed out. Even their kids....
