This is very upsetting coming from what we’ve been seeing in ER and hospitals across Texas.
Masks work and the delta variant is more transmissible. Why are we making a lifesaving thing political?

Hot take: as a student, I would rather be given more work and feel like apart of the team (and learn more)
Rather than watch the residents do everything all day

Hot take: be quiet and work hard.
This applies to every rotation, you don’t have to be the loudest, smartest person. Know your patients well and be willing to do the small things. This will be noticed
Tip to stand out on your ortho sub-I: don’t try to stand out
Your job is not to stand out, it’s to take care of business. You do this by being on time (all 100+ days) and getting supplies ready.
If your goal is to stand out, you will, but more than likely for the wrong reasons.

The best feeling I get during interviews is when the interviewer says something directly from my personal statement, that indicates that they’ve read it.

I’ve maxed out loans and credit cards, and bc I had no foresight have to pay double rent for a month.
I have no idea when I’m getting paid but it’s a really tough time June/July starting intern year 🫠
How does anyone survive the time between medical school and residency financially lmao??? Why does everyone say just take out a relocation loan, etc??? That’s not the answer to this recurrent problem in the medical field

Life doesn’t start when you finish med school. Or residency. Or fellowship.
Life begins when you finally stop believing that life will begin once you lose weight, get that job, have more money, or find the perfect partner.
Life is now.
