Triggers.

Gelfand, Amy A.
- Abstract
This article talks about the author's experience in overcoming a vagal trigger, which every medical student must go through. For the author, her trigger was the lumbar puncture. She explains her reaction to watching her first one, and then her anxiety at having to perform one. The resident doctor provided reassurance and a quick review of the procedure. And even though the patient realized it was the author's first time, there were no recriminations.
