When I was on night float as an intern in the Surgical Oncology service, I cared for a retired surgeon recently diagnosed with advanced cholangiocarcinoma. During my first round, I mistakenly addressed him as "Mr." because I did not read his chart carefully and overlooked his profession. He responded, "Well, now I am Mr.?" At that moment, I realized I had lost his trust, which is crucial. I apologized and committed to regaining his trust. Every day thereafter, I ensured that each team member was aware of his background by noting it in Epic and reminding the team during sign-outs. Through this experience, I learned the importance of meticulously reviewing patients' charts and social histories to maintain accurate and respectful communication.
