Oh, you’re a resident? So then you’re not a real doctor?

I’m a real doctor the same that you’re a real asshole.

Trying to dig my way out of the burnout hole second year created

Have to figure out what the fuck to do with my life after residency

Compounding existential angst

Here we go

When I was a medical student I really did not believe that we were a lot of extra work. We did our best to be helpful! We completed small tasks, updated handoffs, etc! Sure we didn’t make a HUGE contribution, but surely we were at least slightly net positive and not a total time-suck.

I see now just how wrong I was and I am grateful a million times over to the residents who actually took time to teach me. I have a much better appreciation for how much effort that must have required.

#residency #is going great obviously!#just wanted to take a moment to be grateful for the people who taught me because I see now how fucking HARD it is #and how much patience it requires (patience that I have to scrape up from the bottom of my soul)

(I’m posting this less to correct the timeline portrayed in Bohemian Rhapsody, which I mostly really enjoyed, than simply to share a beautiful story that shines light on who Freddie actually was, up to the very end, via twitter.)

R1 Brief Note

Intern year is almost over, I don’t know when that happened. Feels a little bit exciting but also scary.

Here are a few things I’ve discovered (or re-affirmed) along the way

Amazing things happen in obstetrics, (it’s my favorite when the partners cry when they meet their baby for the first time, or when the sex is a surprise)

Bad things happen in obstetrics, and when they do it’s that much worse because patients tend to be young and healthy (or newly born)

There are levels of tired that I had not conceived of before

Turning babies from OP to OA is one of the most satisfying things I have ever experienced in medicine

Uteruses BLEED like nothing you have ever seen before (again, they are to be feared and respected)

Getting to do things in the OR is still a real thrill

Ob/Gyn is full of highs and lows and the emotional whiplash can be so, so taxing

I think picked the right field

#ob/gyn residency #intern year #residency #medicine #R2 here I come #I'll try to write sometime more eloquent at the end of the year
