| - I didn't pack lunch for my first day of rotation. Perhaps it was the nerves or the fact that I didn't sleep well the night prior. Either way, there I was, at my rotation site without any rations on me. Luckily, at 10:00 AM, my preceptor receives a phone call stating that a drug rep was bringing us lunch. He ordered Thai food and ordered the entire office chicken pad thai.
At approximately 12:30 PM, the drug rep came with take-out boxes of chicken pad thai with extra rolls. The portions were definitely large, served with one spring roll and about two servings of noodles. The smell was enough to get my mouth watering, and I couldn't wait any longer. I heaped a generous portion of chicken pad thai into my mouth...and well...let's say that I have had better. There were sour notes in the noodles themselves, and the chicken was poorly seasoned. The noodles were clumped together suggesting that it wasn't fresh. Yes, yes, I know...this was take-out, but part of eating is savoring the presentation as well. The spring roll itself was too heavy on the wrapper and devoid of filling; it was as if I was just eating the wrapper itself. What the heck was the filling?
