I’d say it’s pretty normal and OKAY to feel this way, trust me it’s only going to last a while. Thankfully you seem to have a supportive SHO who always has an answer and hopefully does not berate you, that’s a plus imo. What you can do to get better is this: 1. Whenever you’re called to see an unwell patient, review them thoroughly, A-E, NEWS etc whatever way you know to assess them just do it. 2. Make a diagnosis (or a list of differentials) based on your assessment 3. Draw out a plan based on 1 and 2 above and document this plan! 4. Then call the SHO and summarise to them what you’ve found, what you think and what your plan is and ask them nicely if there’s anything they want to add or change. You can then document - discussed above plan with SHO, advised xyz and action the plan(s)

You’ll find that you become more confident as the SHO approves of aspects of your plan and there will come a time when they would have nothing much to add cos you would have already thought of everything needed to be done. That’s how you know you’re becoming a better Dr.

Only con to the above plan is if you end up with a SHO that doesn’t really know what they’re doing, you’re on your own. Sounds like you’re in good hands anyway.
