A new outlook and a slow transformation

I think that I am becoming a "healthcare professional"

I find myself frustrated with the lack of detail in my textbooks regarding..say...the endocrine system. I think that I have finally reached the "consciously incompetent" stage of being a paramedic. I am beginning to see that there are a ton of gaps in my knowledge.

I see that as a good thing.

I also have recently noticed that when I am getting information on a patient (from the patient, caregiver, nurse whatever) the wheels in my brain immediately begin spinning, and the next thing I know I am asking questions about pertinent information before I've even thought of it. Which I think is pretty cool.
