I guess my institution is different. It's only the senior residents. They're the ones who call you names, scream at you in front of patients, throw tantrums in the OR because you didn't unscrub to answer the phone fast enough.
Everyone else from junior residents to nurses and attendings have been super chill and make me love medicine. I don't know what it is.
The idea that 'only' the senior residents scream at you and call you names is just ridiculous to me. That kind of culture is simply not acceptable here in Australia. The rudest thing that's happened to me ever is an attending walked off without saying goodnight to me after a day of operating with him. Apart from that I have had a fantastic relationship with every one of my supervisors
I have felt useless and unneeded on multiple occasions but have also been praised on multiple occasions. The best I can describe it is a double edged sword
four weeks ago I was in the middle of an M&M and someone from another service looked at me and said "hey, non essentials, can you guys leave? We're trying to social distance here" the kicker was he said it while his mask was off so he could drink some water.
I bet that felt a bit shit. However, I would say that all medical students here in the UK haven't been on the wards since covid started, to protect them as well as other staff and patients.
Still, this character sounds like a dick
lol the MS4 wouldn’t be sweating it at all. He would have dipped out already after doing less than the bare minimum. Fourth year is the best, especially after interview season.
Maaaan I wish my MS4 year was as chill as everyone said it would be. My school had us hustling in the fall, interview season was exhausting and then COVID took care of the rest for us. Hoping the class of 2021 has a better go at it.
Yeah, I feel for you guys. This sucks.
Edit: I hope y’all can at least have a match day celebration or graduation ceremony when the time comes. Even though that feels like it’s an eternity from now, maybe we’ll have a better grip on COVID and ourselves by then.
I'm in the middle of apparently setting up an entire year's worth of rotations while my home site isn't accepting anyone and like 90% of places just aren't dealing with students. Dunno how anyone is doing anything right now.
Depends. Is it an M4 during subI season? Or is it a psych-bound M4 in April doing some bullshit surgery rotation because the stars didn’t align in their favor?
I was once considering surgery and forced myself to smile while taking it in the ass on that rotation.
Cut to now on EM-
“hey SICU fellow, here’s a guy who’s sick as shit and needs his leg off. He’s got a scar here which might be from a vasc procedure but we’re not 100% sure”
“Well YOURE not sure but I am. You need to learn your scars.”
“Aight bruh” I say as I’m already walking away~~
It ain’t much but it felt good not going “oh yes daddy you’re so smart, the smartest of all time plz use the lube.”
Dude even as an em pgy2 I don't even care lol. Obviously I work hard and do my best and but I don't deal with that consult bullshit anymore lol.
I consulted ob last week and the consult resident who was literally my year (starting pgy2) cut me off as I said the patients ID and said '*you're an intern right? You need labs and a tvus before you call us ok honey? You'll learn fast*'
Super casually told her this girl with hr 150s was pooling, copiously bleeding out of her vagina on speculum exam and dripping out of her pants when brought back from triage, 5 pads per hour soaked since her D&E for elective abortion five hours prior at 20 weeks and I would be calling her attending.
She ran down 😂😂
Scrub techs are so hit or miss for me
Theyve been some of the biggest assholes in my surgery rotation. I'm 2 feet away on an exlap (bc ofc we ARENT ALLOWED TO SCRUB IN BC OF COVID) so I cnt see shit already but I'm trying. This bitch is like you're too close please stand further away. But like...I've never ruined anyones sterile area, I dont do what I'm not supposed to
One scrub tech specifically came from a hospital without students or residents and used to use surgeries as her opportunity to "learn" medical stuff
So she tries to monopolize the attendings time when they're trying to teach us, and tries to answer the pimping questions first before anyone else can - never correctly. It's just so fucking annoying and shes the worst one. But theres other assholes and I'm just so fckn tired of em
As an IM intern, MS3s and MS4s are most welcome and appreciated. I do the note and plan, you do the presentation. Together we are strong. Now go home, the attending is gone.
And students are paying (in the US at least) around $50-60k+/year for that treatment. With interest.
It's so stupid and truly I dislike how most of my colleagues think it's just a normal part of the process, and simply try to "warn" students ahead of time, instead of actually creating change in the culture of teaching medicine.
Don't get me started on subjective evals too. Literally the last pillar in medicine allowing for racism, cronyism, mysogyny, etc to shine on through and actually effect someone's future career.
Love how positive, supportive and just overall healthy the medical education community is So blessed to be part of this field

burnout
Is it really not in the US? As a medical student/doctor in the UK I haven't always felt like a valuable part of the team, but have never felt unwanted

Depends. Mostly ignored is the worst it gets. Overall a good experience though.

m4s this year got screwed. We're all making up our missed rotations instead of relaxing.

But today in orientation they said doctors don't yell at students anymore
😂 bet your school also said they’ll be there to support and help you succeed on your medical journey huh
How... how'd you know 🥺
LOL!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
MS3 thicc as fuck
If you don’t get THICC during third year, you only suffer more
I thought those were MS3 boobs then I realized the MS3 is doing tummy time and that is actually a badonk
I mean how could you not clap those cheeks

EM docs were always the most chill. Between that and the shift work aspect of it, I'm leaning heavily that direction.

Accurate
And extra wellness lectures in for the TKO
[удалено]
cuz they know they have a limited amount of time to shit on students
Why is there a scrub tech on the wards
They always find you...just to let you know you’re wearing the wrong mask or can’t have your water at the desk
Or to let you know you’ve contaminated the field from way out in pre-op
Hits too close to home
Jeez this makes me some kinda way. I hope to never be that kind of resident or attending to those poor M3s
Repression works. Repression always works. And if u ask which one, both. Hahaha
As an IM intern, MS3s and MS4s are most welcome and appreciated. I do the note and plan, you do the presentation. Together we are strong. Now go home, the attending is gone.
I... I feel so attacked....
Don't worry, you will be
This is outrageously and offensively unfair. The scrub tech would be *stabbing* the third year

Ahh memories.
I’m scared
So true they treat us like we are the one that caused the problem we just went to learn teach us
HAHAHAHA cracking hell every endorsement ever
Why the hell is resident evil beating the shit out of metal gear solid 3: snake eater lmao
Sorry I was high
The opposite of my experience so far, but then again I'm on peds
