@olsonplanner@outannarun “Leaving the last 5% on the table” is accurate. It creates a moral crisis for me that I find very uncomfortable. No kids… they’d probably make it easier for me to leave it on the table.
@olsonplanner@patrickppatten If you’re selective about field and program, you can almost certainly find a residency with great training and a schedule/support structure that fits your needs. Will have to hustle in med school to create these options.
@traependergrast It’s tough. I was a pell grant awardee and feel this. At the same time I know I am going to make significantly more $ than almost the entire world as a US doc, even in a “low paying” specialty. The finances seem weird but I struggle to complain.
@traependergrast @sammynickalls Hey I have often felt similarly. It sucks. Sorry you're going through that and sorry this person is being what sounds like a weird jerk.
