As a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a doctor and yesterday I became Dr. Hafza Inshaar, the first in my family, the first of her name 🥳 Forever grateful for the village that is my family and for the village I found at @OhioStateMed, couldn’t have done it without all y’all 🙏🏾
My fiancé is an Emergency Medicine provider.
His shifts are 12 hours. He regularly works 14+. Extra hours are unpaid.
He gets no lunch breaks.
No pee breaks.
No PTO.
Puts in hours of home work each week (unpaid).
They ask for a 6 month quit notice.
Hospitals will use protocols in response to a sentinal event & waste tons of $ on unneccesary tests
But they won't pay to retain experienced staff with good judgement & critical thinking that helps prevent the sentinal events 🤫🤔🥴🧐😳
Intern year is hard.
Residency is hard.
Tell me your stories about how it eventually all comes together. That you eventually have a handle on things.
Need some encouragement
Had a mother tell me that I’m “not a REAL doctor” because I’m a resident.
It’s actually very defeating after multiple 28hr shifts & already struggling with imposter syndrome. Reasons #74838463849 that I’m burned out.
Another surgeon asked me to go get his patient’s pre op paperwork despite the fact that 1. I was dressed in scrubs with my name & title, identical to his which only the surgeons wear 2. I was wearing my ID 3. I was speaking to my OWN patient in the pre op area about their surgery
To the people commenting that i should just change jobs:
1. You've missed the point of this tweet
2. Good luck dying when all the residents quit & there are no doctors left to take care of you
3. Yes the schedule is bad. No one is bragging. It's hazing. The system needs change
