Once I…

…Get into med school

…Match into my #1 residency

…Become an attending physician

… Make attending money

…Get promoted to partner/professor

…Buy the car/house

THAT is when I’ll finally be happy.

But you find out you aren’t. This is called an Arrival Fallacy.

Laboring it up this weekend. M4 year is a rollercoaster but I’m loving it. #ortho #MedTwitter
