As a med student it feels like punishment to take any time off. I was greeted by my site director asking where I was yesterday even though I had an approved absence for a wedding I was attending. No communication between the school and affiliate sites = med student pays for it

The first two weeks of intern year have taught me to never take moments with loved ones for granted, to stay present, to aim for daily growth while taking care of fragile patients, to take any criticism as an opportunity for growth, and to bask in the joy of being in this field

I had a call with my neurology mentor today and he reminded me of things I needed to hear :
You have to be comfortable with failing, failing Is part of the journey and what matters is what happens AFTER. If you attempt to do everything on 100% that’s just on the path to burnout.

And she hasn’t even mentioned the Spirometer , in which black people and other people of color automatically have less total lung capacity than white people because race is built into it
You're Black and don't get admitted for O2 when you have Covid because the pulse oximeter reads >94% when you're really 88%. You die waiting on a kidney transplant list because the eGFR uses race, which overestimates kidney function for Black people. Racism in medicine is deadly.
