life in a surgical residency

[whatwecallresidency]

Actual footage of me trying to get through residency, figure out what specialty I’m going to do, get a job and somehow have a family and be happy.

When you give someone a compliment and they don’t believe you

My new post call routine

[whatwecallresidency]

Doing a VARDS and you get a BIG CHONK that is both horrifying and amazing.

[whatwecallresidency]

When the new residents start and you can’t remember their names…

[whatwecallresidency]

“There’s 2 choles and a butt pus on the board for you tonight”

[whatwecallresidency]

When the chief finds out a senior has been abusing junior residents.

[whatwecallresidency]

When your junior can’t even write out a consult but insists you let them do an urgent chest tube. PUH-LEASE

Me explaining my admission policy to the off service junior I’m on call with

Apparently you can only get petite scrubs from the machine at 3am after you get blood on you 😑

Me watching the med student close the skin 😂

I find this ridiculously funny and it reminds me a lot of my time in medical school on any rotation other than surgery.

When you call a service to consult on a patient who needs to be seen and operated on now and they say sure just send to our outpatient clinic after the weekend.

[whatwecallresidency]

When you have to do a procedure in an unstable trauma and you end up just flinging the wrappers and packaging all over the floor because the patient is almost dead

[whatwecallresidency]

Rollin in to a trauma activation to find your favorite emerge doc and nurse there #vibing

This one off service resident when I said “I’m putting a chest tube in do you want to come and do it together?”
