Make Way For Ducklings, part two

There is a specific order in which medical students follow around other members on their team.  This is based on the hierarchical nature of medicine.  Some rotations follow this more strictly than others.  This is also very implicit.  No one tells you in what order you should walk in/out of a patient's room, through a doorway, or down the hall during rounds.  You just pick this up and start realizing that you are the bottom of the hierarchy in every sense, which is physically represented as being the last in line.
