Profile
Signout is hospital slang for the transfer of information between patient care teams. It is also the name of this blog, which represents one of the less dysfunctional ways in which Dr. Signout copes with her participation in a U.S. medical residency program.

Adolescent Medicine:
What logic we can get
Most normal people, I imagine, are asked to understand that good people make mistakes maybe once a day. In the emergency department, providers are asked to understand this about 10 times an hour. It gets old fast.
