8:30 am to 9:30 pm. That's how long I'll be at school today. Ewwwwww.....

I am spending my day calling doctors (or rather, speaking to their voicemail, as they are all busy, of course.) I gotta admit, I feel a little silly calling them. I feel like they are on the other end the line, rolling their eyes because some little peon student is wasting their time trying to get their opinions on a new technology. I think I would be, if I was the doctor. C'mon, it seems simple: should I spend 20-30 minutes talking to this KID about her little technology, or should I work on charts, talk to patients, or get some other work done so I could sleep? I think I would choose to not speak to me. I doesn't help that I am not calling from any company, or even have an impressive name to use. Who would you rather talk to: Katrina the student from BU, or someone from Merck? **sigh** I think I am going to give my group an impressive name, so I can use it to sound professional. Like Katrina from the Boston University Neuropathy Technologies (BUNT for short. Heh.) Ok, maybe I won't call it BUNT, but something other then saying I am a student. Busy people don't want to talk to a student. We ask a lot of questions. At least, if they don't think I am a student, I can get them talking, and then they might realize it later. And I can just think to myself "fooled you." And we can all walk away happy...
