My attending skipped lunch and has been starving and didn’t dismiss me for lunch so I’ve just been here and now we’re both starving.
Is this what a career in medicine looks like?

Had a friend today discourage my interest in a speciality cuz it’s theirs too. This is exactly the kind of shit I hate seeing happening between med students. Can’t we all pull each other up - because trust me, I WANT you to succeed.

every time an interviewer calls me resilient -you cant even understand how much i wish i didn’t have to be. I know its looked at as a “pro” but it just makes my stomach turn each time. the most difficult and darkest period of my life is somehow being glorified and i hate it

If I need a min of 4 years college to even APPLY to medical school where I’m taught for another 4 years, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask that cops be required to have certifications, or degrees in beh health, law, sociology, civil rights, and MORE

How common is dual applying?
I have my heart set on a specialty but i’m not confident about my competitiveness so I’m wondering if I should have a “back-up.” But am I splitting my efforts too much/would it be better if I just applied to my main IDK SOS

There’s this feeling, and i don’t think it’s limited to medicine, where peers’ accomplishments sometimes feel like your failures and I’m trying real hard not to feel that way.

I’m not the only one who listens for doors opening/closing so I don’t have to interact with roommates if I want to go into the kitchen and stuff, right? I don’t dislike them or anything but sometimes I just don’t want human interaction.

3rd year is upsetting because I thought I’d have time to do everything- volunteer, research, maybe some leadership- but instead I’m waking up at the crack of dawn to study, trying to survive rotations, barely passing shelf exams, and have like 2 things in the fridge.
