i almost feel sorry for that resident. i say “almost” because it was his/her own dumbass decision to pursue his specialty of choice. and knowing med students’ and doctors’ tendencies for self-delusion and ego-inflation, that resident probably chose to go into surgery “to be a Surgeon.” well, congrats, Surgeon. you’re miserable, unhealthy, and no longer human. switch into rads, derm, path, PM&R, even EM, as soon as you can and start reclaiming your damn life.

i’m with you on that 100%, Nate.

I don’t know if my school is just really cool, if I put off a don’t tread on me vibe, or med school is changing, but third year so far really hasn’t been a quarter of the horror it was made out to be. Maybe it’s a combination. I seem to get a lot of stories from residents and attendings about the shabby treatment they received was really pretty much inexcusable and they plan on breaking the cycle of abuse. Then they follow up on it by treating me like a human being who’s paying to be there. Haven’t hit any backstabbing evaluations yet that hit me for taking them up on their offer, either. The VA seems to still be a little old-school in places, but it’s so laid back there anyway it’s pretty easy to find the cracks to fall through if you’re so inclined. The students for the first OB and surgery rotations complained so much they’re changing a lot of things for the rest of us. I’m usually first to the pity party, but honestly the first two years probably wouldn’t have been as bad had I known it was going to be like this later.
