Aronson is helping a “resident” with an essay for a medical journal

Based on the “Different” section, Aronson is helping a “resident” with an essay for a medical journal, reflecting on his own training and education. The resident is writing about an appointment where he discovers that the “dying patient” he was expecting was a woman much younger than he expected. Thus, he didn’t schedule enough time to meet and plan her care. He states that the “take-away” lesson he learned from that experience was that: in medical charts, residents “needed to list age more prominently on handoffs to each other so the receiving physician could plan their time appropriately.” While the other young residents agree that this is the lesson, why is Aronson “chilled” by this, unlike the rest?
