How to memorize long list of patients as a senior

SERIOUS

Hello. I’m a new senior and I’ve been having a hard time remembering details of things we did for the patient. The list ranges from 12-18 patients at a given time. I get asked questions every 5 mins when I’m trying to preround so I don’t even preround well. Whenever the intern doesn’t know something during a presentation everyone looks at me and not gonna lie there have been times I forget too. Also we do have a fellow and a lot of times there have been decisions made that I’m not aware of because the intern is talking with the fellow. Anyway it’s really embarrassing to not know what we did and it’s a bad look in front of the attending. How do I do better at memorizing these patients?
