Normalise taking as much time & space to heal from trauma as you need. That's it. That's my Tweet.

#MedTwitter After some time away to recollect myself from #SOAP2023, I got into a Transitional Year program with hoping to #Match2024. S/O and I will live apart, but we’ll make it through. Money will be tight paying two rents, but I’ll try my hardest to return.

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

After this round, I’ll have to live apart from my S/O, while I try to transfer or re-enter the Match in 2024. We loathe this, but have no other viable option. #SOAP2023 #UNMATCHED

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

Round 3, still no offers. My S/O & I hoped for something, but we may have to live apart for a year. #SOAP2023 #UNMATCHED

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

@markovre Not sure, but I’ve heard of programs possibly calling in-between rounds

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

Hoping my #1 calls/emails/contacts me during this nerve-racking process! I’m literally shaking. #SOAP2023 #UNMATCHED

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

No offers in 2nd Round, but still hoping. #SOAP2023 #UNMATCHED

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

I wish everyone in this the best today. The wait is jarring me, but I’m hoping something happens. #SOAP2023 #unmatched

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

Without any #SOAP2023 interviews, I hope things turn out better tomorrow. The silence has worn me out so much today. #UNMATCHED

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

@LaradeAlmeida18 @mahad_minhas Hoping this is the case 👏🏼

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

Same feelings as last year: loss, confusion, disillusion. Couldn’t give more than 3-word responses to my advisor. They said “it’s just a year [from my spouse]” & “you’ll be worse off if you don’t,” but I can’t agree with that when she’s crying for me.

@ASP__org Need this in MS & NC

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

@mahad_minhas Nothing

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

I hope others are having better luck than me. S/O and I are exploring options to afford moving, but I’m not sure where we’re going at this point.

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

This silence is haunting yet familiar. I hope someone calls. #SOAP2023 #UNMATCHED

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

Congratulations to all who matched this cycle! Sadly, I did not. Disbelief hit my S/O and family hard, but I hope to make it through the SOAP for them.

#Match2023

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

I hope #match2023 ends well at this point. Barely making ends meet; guilt’s made me lose my appetite; and my wife’s suspected my mental health slipping. I knew it was half-way into this cycle, but I don’t want them to worry.

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

@Least_ordinary 4th year of med school: I was the last one doing CPR on an infant (they just turned 1 year old). I held back my tears, as the mother said her goodbyes. I didn’t remember the 90 min drive home, but when my wife asked if I was okay, all I said was ‘I’m fine’.

@awsumpowers To express empathy, WORDING IS KEY! Cancer is not “good”! Cancer itself & most treatments for it put an immense toll on all aspects of one’s life.

[Patrick L Guin (He/Him) @guin_patrick]

Looking forward to #Match2023, but anxious about the end result. Hoping this year is better than the last!
