“You only work 4 days a week! That’s part time!”
Yeah, and I need 4 days to recover from it.
I feel like medicine is different than other jobs in the sense that it is both a physically demanding and mentally demanding job.
Jobs like construction are mostly physical, move this, lift that, hammer stuff (clearly I know a lot about construction, but roll with this for a sec) where as jobs that are primarily mentally demanding are sitting based or minimally physical, such as researchers or data analysts or computer programmers.
Medicine is both. I need to figure out why my A/Ox4 patient is suddenly A/O x none and losing their shit, trying to crawl out of bed even though they just had a ORIF of their femur, all the while trying to wrestle them back into bed.
I wore my fitbit the other day and on a ‘slow’ 8h shift I walked 25km.
That’s fucking insane!
At the end of the day my brain is spent and my body is tired, so heres a personal fuck you to everyone who is all ‘thats part time! you can totally pick up more shifts!! why don’t you meal prep for the next 4 evening shifts when you get home from your 5 day shifts!’ like fuck no I need to sleep
Anyone telling someone that part time work is easy is just rude, but in medicine it’s particularly annoying, since it’s not even necessarly true that people who work part time work part time hours. Part time GPs end up basically doing 40+ hours when admin is taken into account. Full time GPs? Even more than that. Hospital doctors might do less overtime, but we make up for it in physical legwork. I don’t even walk quite as much as you on my recent shifts, and the km I do manage to put in on those shifts are more than tiring enough! I can’t imagine how annoying it must be to walk 25K on shifts then get told you’ve got it easy. No wonder you’re fuming. I can’t believe someone lecturing you on how to spend your free time when frankly, the medical life is so exhausting that when you get home, sometimes all you can do is zone out, eat and sleep. And repeat that the next day. I found med school tiring (as my family often jokes, I basically napped my way through the clinical years), but it was only when I graduated that I took exhaustion to a new level. I do find that I sometimes just have to say “I can’t do that right now, I’m exhausted and literally don’t have the energy”, so I can’t imagine what it would be like to deal with more of that because “you’re working part time therefore should have the time for that”. Going back to jobs in general, to build on your excellent points.I feel it’d be unfair to say other jobs are easy, after all, every job is tiring, and I wouldn’t tell my friends who do office work that their job is easy when that’s neither true nor fair. Which is, I know, not what you were saying, but it’s how medics sometimes come across when we talk about our work, so I wanted to clarify. Because it can be hard to have this conversation without it turning into some kind of competition, which it doesn’t need to be. For what it’s worth, I think people like paramedics or the fire brigade do jobs that are much more tiring or harrowing than ours. It’s true that plenty of jobs are more physically exhausting than medicine, It doesn’t compare to, say, manual labour, but itprobably involves a similar amount of standing/running to being on a busy shop floor. Hospital medicine (and nursing) does involve more exertion than sitting at a desk for most of the day. There are definitely many 12h shifts where you spend the entire time on your feet, dashing from one patient to another, with barely time to sit down. And I dare anyone to tell me that’s not exhausting. It’s also a job that (at least in the UK) often requires staying late, or filling paperwork in your spare time, or doing audits, or getting your training done; so on top of those long hours, you then have to sit down and do work-related things in your limited spare time. It’s not a job that you can ‘clock off’ and switch off from. Most of my non-medical friends have the benefit that when they stop working, they can stop thinking about work, or their career, and jus enjoy their free time. Meanwhile I have to get back from a 12h job, worry about passing the next exam or progressing with my portfolio, and get some work done on that aspect of my job. You’re also spot on that it’s mentally exhausting; when I volunteered and say, filled envelopes or served lunches, I sometimes got a lot done in a short space of time, but it was nowhere near as tiring for me as dealing with patients. When you’re making complex clinical decisions that involve juggling around a lot of clinically relevant information in your head, it can also be exhausting. You’re not just deciding on simple things, but weighing up on complex options and then discussing them with the patients, your colleagues, your seniors. The responsibility weighs on you, and you can end up anxious about decisions they are making. Lastly, it’s also emotionally exhausting; many jobs are tiring physically, and lots of office jobs still require quite a bit of mental work, but most people don’t need to worry about accidentally killing someone if something goes wrong. We’re dealing with people at the worst times in their lives; people who are scared, upset, sick and whose loved ones are in distress. We’re breaking bad news. It’s incredibly emotionally draining. I can definitely say that working in medicine taught me what it is to be physically tired, but also mentally exhausted, and emotionally wiped out; that’s why I always say that there are different types of fatigue. Medicine isn’t necessarily the hardest job, but it can be physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting and take over your time off as well.
@dxmedstudent
You have such a way with words, I would love for you to be able to peer into my brain and interpret what I’m thinking. You touched on a nice point that I, probably in my exhaustion, left out, and when I initially wrote this I for sure included paramedics and firefighters in the dual physical and mental exhaustion.
One thing that will eternally piss me off is this competition of ‘who is more tired’ like why cant we all be equally tired? Why is it a competition, why do we need to justify being tired? Why cant I just say ‘I’m tired’ and have that be the end of it? All jobs are tiring, people have different levels of tolerance for different things, and I guarantee one day on the floor would kill most of my family, yet they have the nerve to say I only work ‘part time?” like hey hi hello fuck off please.
I am in awe of my co nurses who go home and feed kids and go to soccer practice and clean the house and meal prep for the next week, when I can hardly convince myself to make easy food. Will I adapt? I hope so, because right now when I walk through the door I’m useless.
Another point you nailed is how if we make a mistake it can quite literally be life and death. I read an article once that said air traffic controllers have the most stressful jobs, and while I don’t doubt that I think an important difference is again, they get to do their stress sitting down.
Running a code uses both brains and arm muscle, but at the same time how do I deny going to a family thing because I’m absolutely wiped without having to explain I had to physically keep a human alive with my hands, while discussing (loudly blurting out) reasons the patient could be in cardiac arrest.
I think society as a whole needs a better understanding of what medicine is like, because half the time I think my family thinks I just pass out meds and ‘chart’, whatever that looks like to them it probably involves sitting down.
The rich are getting more rich tho
that’s the motherfucker that won’t let me die
What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener
Reblog to literally save a life
if there is a Dollar Tree near you, they have entire food aisles
Planet Fitness also has $10 memberships. you can shower and they have free food days! pizza night 1st monday every month, bagel tuesday the 2nd tuesday every month.
Save a life reblog
i am so glad that i renblogged this however so long ago. i saw this post and shared it with others in mind, but now i am the one who really needs this. id like to think of this as good karma i guess
also a good list if anyone ever needs to run away from home for whatever reason.
I’d also like to add that some YMCA’s will let you like,,, live in there (my dad lived in a ymca for a bit while he was in grad school till some guy who turned out to be a murder later on invited him to live on his couch BUT THATS A DIFFERENT STORY)
Human trafficking? Nah. The UN has a better word for what’s happening: genocide. See below:

It true. They’re kind like a 1950’s jello cake thingy
Until they’re preserved then they get a bit firmer kinda like the same jello cake thingy but left out of the fridge over night and it kinda dehydrates?
Look I’m a scientist who is really good at explaining things scientifically.
And that’s all y’all need to know about me.
looking “professional”
i grew up in a very liberal, hip area. my hometown is heavy on the tech industry; nobody bats an eye at young men walking into their 9-5 jobs wearing jeans and a graphic tee.
medicine is, from my impression, much more conservative. i got my hair cut short recently (as a woman) and while i would have loved to try shaving the side of my head, one of the reasons i didn’t was because i didn’t know if i’d be able to get by with it (especially moving to the midwest).
before i cut my hair, i dyed it purple. part of it was “before i cut my hair short,” part of it was “before i start med school.” my sister, the one time she dyed her hair, did it before she started vet school. my friend, who will be applying for health programs next year, has made the decision to cut the last of her dyed hair off before interviewing. i remember interviewing at a med school and specifically asking a student with purple hair if they planned on keeping it when they got to their clinical years. they answered that they would like to, but they would decide when they got there based on the reactions of the doctors they’d be working with (who would also be grading them). when i got into med schools, i started reading their student handbooks and specifically checking if they said anything about dyed hair.
i’m lucky that my school doesn’t say anything, though i’m not sure i want to dye my hair right now anyway. with short hair, everything grows out so quickly and it just seems too annoying. instead, i’ve decided that i want to pierce my ears. the plan is to get a double helix piercing on one ear with rings.
one thing i was definitely concerned about was what kind of impression that would give off. for me, it’s definitely a concern because i no longer have long hair that i can use to hide it in certain settings. i’m not too worried; it’s not that uncommon and i don’t plan on getting ostentatious pieces put in. but it is annoying that my school’s rule in their handbook is that you cannot have three or more piercings per ear. of course, it’s an entirely different matter if/how it is enforced, but it’s annoying that it’s a factor that i have to consider. i have plenty of friends with multiple piercings; i’ve never thought that it looked unprofessional as long as the jewelry pieces were small and tasteful. it just seems like such a small and silly thing to be controlling.
why are we so concerned with appearances? i hope that in the future, we are more relaxed about these things. my career should not affect my ability to express myself as an individual.
Medical schools are very conservative, even more so than non-academic hospitals from my experience. My undergrad health advising office used to give us a research study conducted about the suits worn to interviews. It turns out that pants suit vs skirt suit or the color of your shirt (pastel vs white) and whether or not men have facial hair matters. It’s ridiculous, but the field is notoriously behind the times. I have multiple earrings, classmates have tattoos, and we have some trendy haircuts, but no facial piercings, or extreme hair colors that I can think of among my classmates.
Hopefully you’ll be part of the new generation of doctors who helps usher in a new age. Get that piercing and be proud!
Medicine is notoriously behind the times, but times are changing. Going to a DO school and doing OMM lab with my classmates in gymwear meant I saw that a fair number of my classmates had tattoos, many of the women had multiple ear piercings, and a couple of my classmates had septum piercings that they’d flip around to be less visible. Most of these were easily concealed under white coats, but one of my coresidents almost had full-on sleeve tattoos that were visible in scrubs, and he never got any flack for it, nor was he told to cover up with a white coat.
I’m in Family Med, btw, not EM (EM docs seem to be able to get away with a more “alternative” look than most docs). I’m doing fellowship in a more conservative part of the country than I did my residency, but some of the senior residents have multiple ear piercings, and a couple of attendings have discreet nose piercings. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal.
IME, as a woman you will be scrutinized more closely than men, but I think as mellinials grow into attending-hood and start working as med school and residency faculty, a lot of this is going to change pretty quickly.
Yes, when we’re in the hospital or clinic wearing a white coat, we are Representing Our Profession And Must Be A Credit To Our Teachers And Peers. Probably some old white dudes on some board somewhere at your school think purple hair and ear piercings don’t do that, but they’ll retire soon, and we’ll get to start deciding what does and doesn’t reflect poorly on our profession.
Personally, I think having a peer with purple hair would do nothing but make me seem cooler by association, and I’m much more concerned with how my peer treats their patients and colleagues than what color their hair is.
Welcome to medicine, I’m excited you (and your short hair, and your ear piercings) are going to be practicing medicine and changing dress codes for years to come!
Praying for a miracle in gen chem next year, honestly.
