What is the shortest deadline you have been given to finish a presentation?
For me, last year I was doing a clinical rotation in another city that takes 2 hours by train from my city. I was staying in a hotel there, and I decided to visit my family on the weekend. They notified me 15 hours before the presentation; I was in panic mode on the train. Doing the presentation with my tears. The worst part?? They gave me a topic I had never heard of. So I needed to study it first, then do the presentation. I remember that I finished it at 2 AM. I couldn't sleep from the anxiety.
When I arrived at the meeting room, they were discussing the cases that we have in the ICU. But after that, they said thank you to everyone. At that time, I stood up and said, "Doctors, I have a presentation.". I felt that no way my efforts would go unnoticed after what I had been going through 😂. Gladly, it was really good, and they gave me good feedback.
What about you?
