The reality is that if you come from a physician family, you will have a place in medicine as long as you finish and it’s almost impossible to not finish in those cases. Medicine respects medicine and medicine alone. There’s no guarantee for anyone else and it’s crushing.
It’s also growing up without a safety net financially and then taking out this much in loans - the pressure for every exam, every situation hits different. Having physician parents and family removes so much of the stress. It’s also access to resources, connections, opportunities
This year was long but a good one. Happy to have graduated and matched. I have been working HARD since starting residency, but my wish for 2024 is to continue to grow in my field and to also form new habits, friendships, and be the most authentic self I can be! #NewYear2024
Now that I, someone who does not come from a family in medicine, am close to people in medicine who do come from families in medicine, the difference in stress levels is literally so vast it’s not even funny.
So I was in a restaurant when some random stranger came up to me, put her hand on my wheelchair and then said “go on then, tell me why you’re in the wheelchair.”
Like why oh why would you expect me to tell someone my PRIVATE medical history because I’m in a wheelchair? (1/2)
Ever get tired of feeling like you're always the one to reach out to friends? Do I just stop and see if they actually want to maintain communication? Am I just pestering them? They always *seem* happy to hear from me, but then I'll hear nothing until I decide to reach out again.
ppl expect physicians to sacrifice their life for their job, to know everything there is to know out there, do extra unpaid hrs/work, be available at every hour of the day & on vacations, and then in the same breath say they think they’re paid “too much” lol lmao be serious
Hi #Medtwitter ! I’m excited to be applying to #TripleBoard (Peds, Psych, Child Psych) and #Pediatrics for #Match2024. I’m a huge advocate for ALL children in every capacity! I’m a lover of all things health policy, mentorship, gun violence prevention, and equitable health care.
The medical field will soon be ushering in a whole new class of interns. (Welcome!) 😀
Here are 5 tips passed down from those wiser than me that have helped me get through residency.✍️🏼
