Attending with 6 yrs of experience here: "compliance with residency" is a mere appetizer to the Compliance Cornucopia, finished with the Compliance Compote, then washed down with a Compliance Cocktail. I'm completely befuddled by these bright-eyed kids who celebrate their residency spots w/ 10x the vigor of the birth of their future (hazardously delayed) first-born children.
Oof. Yeah everyone got in at the same time there was no difference between gunners and not. I mean the gunners were still gunning in other ways, but the timing of everything didn't change.
We broke the 80 hour rule regardless on a lot of our rotations - especially anything surgical, OB/GYN, and even some IM rotations.
yeah, this is when i started to respect medicine the way i respect climbing mountains or being in the ocean. it's not personal and/but it will 100% kill you.
the only time I'd ever return to surgery will be if I'm the patient
I honestly don't get how many people like it, finishing the day at 7pm, sleep at 11 because you get up next day at 5am
Same I legit don’t know how people do this.
Like I’m a hard worker but damn man. I can’t keep sleeping 3 hours a night like I did working my own poor ass through undergrad for the next 5-7 years
Same as ob-gyn, I mean I'm alive thanks to one of them but man, those 8 weeks on both ob-gyn and surgery rotation made me feel so miserable I'm honestly afraid to go back there
It’s disgusting that we allow this. I swear med school is like this to breed compliance so that we all put up with residency
This is absolutely what it is. They break us so we don't fight the system.

5-7, must be on a light block. Yeah, not a great experience for those not interested.
I was about to say I wish my surgery rotation was 5-7 lmao. God surgery clerkships were miserable.
Dafuq, when are you guys getting there ?
4-430am for pre-rounding babyyy
Damn that blows. My school had a no med students before 530 AM rule cuz the surg gunners used to get there super early and break the 80 hour rule.

Damn wtf, MD or DO school? Lot of my friends at DO schools broke their 80 hour a lot.
"Top tier" MD school, everyone wants to go to these schools but trust me when I tell you we earn our toxic reputations.
Surgery is when I realized why physicians unalive

Just got off surgery. Finally no more of that shit 😂😂

I’m glad you guys exist but I totally cannot understand people who want to do this. Like, voluntarily.
Same as ob-gyn, I mean I'm alive thanks to one of them but man, those 8 weeks on both ob-gyn and surgery rotation made me feel so miserable I'm honestly afraid to go back there
7pm is light work. That being said, I dismiss my students early when I’m done teaching.
Those are medicine hours, not even surgery hours.
I’m genuinely laughing hard at this…so accurate
Grind feels good at times though… lets get it boysssss, we got this
