As one of those omnipresent, lurking with intent paediatric registrars I know exactly what you mean. However, the defence for this is that paediatrics is quite specialised and newcomers to the speciality often don’t recognise that.
Procedures are also a bit more tricky and support if not supervision is often necessary.
As you settle in and demonstrate competency, you will be allowed more autonomy.
Enjoy the 6 months,
Udoka.

Yes exactly!!!

Me too had similar mixed ideas on stepping into house officer job from completing my medical school and internship. Much of the fun was there when many of the staff, nurses and attendants thought me as intern or still a medical student! This is because I joined the same university hospital where I was trained and completed just a month ago!!!

The postgraduate students do exactly same work as your SHOs are doing. Therefore, I get some kind of supervised or feedback on the cases I consult or refer them if they are not that mild which I manage and sent back to home from Emergency section.

Giving full authority to lead, manage and consult the cases with careful supervision is great! I love that.

It is good training as well.

Best wishes,
mati
