I am once again completing a background check despite having no time to do crimes

Me asking to switch call with my co resident.

Moments after introducing myself as Dr. *last name* Patient’s SO: “thanks, *first name*” Me: “Dr. *last name*” Pt’s SO: “Dr. *first name*” Me: “my last name is pronounced **” The gender bias in medicine is exhausting. SO read my badge, ignores the DOCTOR part 😔

my man who’s not my man only used one exclamation point instead of multiple in his text to me should i passive aggressively bully him into dumping me

My best friend just got engaged and I am sitting in bed at 9:36 PM studying on a Saturday night. Who’s the real winner here

Yes. I agree with your assessment

Slept for 4 of my 24 hours at work and apparently when my senior resident tried to wake me to prepare for sign out I told her no and went back to sleep. I have no memory of this. This is not going to end well for me

Leave medicine if you’re anti-choice. We don’t want you here, you’re not welcome.

@SBowersMD Med student here— would hold the door open for people, panic when someone asks me to recite a recipe, and somehow manage to drop the silverware. 👶

came to college happy and motivated now I’m leaving mentally ill

I don't think we should tell med students that there is only ONE specialty that they belong in. Too much pressure. I probably would have been happy with med/peds, GI, or CL psych. It's more a matter of "can you stomach the worst stuff" than "do you like the good stuff", imo.

@PonziniF Get a massage! Go on a walk! FaceTime your loved ones!

what does one do the day before Step 1?

Medicine/medical training is a black box so failing to match means emotionally spiraling as a failure because of the amount of times you have to explain what happened to family/friends

@lilmedstudent I didn’t match and I can’t stop grappling with the fact that I am a failure

these past few months have fucked with my head. i have no confidence in myself and my self esteem is nonexistent at this point. if so many programs thought i wouldn’t be a good doctor, maybe they’re right?

i matched low on my list. it’s a good program and i’m so blessed they wanted me and there are so many good things about it. i’m struggling more with feeling incredibly inadequate and wondering how to accept that i just wasn’t good enough for so many other programs.

like teddy roosevelt said, speak softly but carry a beef stick

y'all this man carries Ibuprofen AND Lactaid for me at all times. I thought people like only existed in the movies, and I get to MARRY this guy

Embarrassing honestly

So the soap process is absolutely dirty and gross but faculty offering me a muffin while I’m inconsolably sobbing this morning was just….
