so not suave

My attending today asked me what I learned today, and like a retard, I replied, "Um, I learned what a hernia repair looks like." Technically correct, but still the wrong answer. Ugh, I hate getting flustered and just blurting shit out. But really, what was I supposed to say? "Well sir, I really didn't learn anything new today yet - that's why you should let me go home and study/look up answers to questions I had today"?? That would've gotten ugly fast.

Here's to hoping tomorrow goes better.
