There are no stupid questions. Yes there are stupid and obnoxious people who you should avoid when asking a naive question to, unless of course you like rhetorical, confidence depleting answers. The fact of the matter is none of us were born healthcare workers; none of us had the innate ability to diagnose and or care for individuals. We were all trained and every healthcare worker had to start from the beginning. This includes every medical student turned cardiovascular surgeon, every graduate nurse turned chief nursing officer.  So here is to all the rookies out there and all the rookie mistakes. Piss on all those who talked smack because everyone starts somewhere. Find a good mentor who is open and knowledgeable. Profit from your mistakes, they are the very basis of your knowledge; as long as you can learn and develop from them.
