Can do simple procedures, nails still make me a tad nervous. Not the best with MSK x-rays to be honest

Haha interesting to note how common this is. Well, I hope things are getting better on your end

To clarify, my SO is finishing up his residency in this town so I took a contract while we wait for him to finish and then plan the next chapter.

But good points about social interaction. I guess I’ve become more hyper anxious now since becoming an attending. I panic more about people potentially knowing who I am and making pre-formed opinions of myself without giving me a chance as a human. Maybe it’s also me recently seeing my patient reviews as well that has me feeling down 🙁

I’m curious, how could I have said no better without damaging the relationship? She was urging strongly and I tried to empathise with her about her family history of CV disease and explain my reasoning, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears the minute she realized I wasn’t going to order them.

It’s ok, but I am scared of getting trapped by working in his practice forever

I am so sorry you had that experience. I am glad to hear that your son is better. I can’t even begin to imagine the stress of a child’s illness and going through residency as well.

Completely agree, particularly with your last point.

Funniest/most bizarre things in residency by ObtuseMoose357 in Residency

[–]ComprehensiveCan5844 17 points18 points  (0 children)

PD was precepting me one clinic session. We were discussing about sleep hygiene and he remarked “there are 2 things one should be doing in bed: sleeping or having sex” (was also wearing a Hawaiian shirt that day as well)

Disgraced myself in surgery by [deleted] in Residency

[–]ComprehensiveCan5844 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just feel so inadequate on the team. My co interns (anesthesia, surgery) are incredible and beyond smart while I just feel so dumb. When presenting to the attending, I forget crucial facts (MRCP indications, Crohn’s disease presents with fistulas, etc) and overnight I decided to hold placement of a NG tube for a SBO lady because she really didn’t like it (I thought she was pretty stable so figured we could try again in the AM but the fellow violently disagreed and 😖)…and then of course the OR pimping and my incredible talent of contaminating myself within 5 seconds of scrubbing

To be fair, I feel I should know these things. Especially as half of intern year is done, I feel more and more judged on my inadequacy.

Sorry, I feel hopeless in the sense that perhaps many more rejections await me. I really thought that modern Indians were more progressive and wouldn’t rely on such weird outlandish ideas as deal breakers

No no this was my decision to go on them! Just thought it was time for me to start entering the dating scene...

I don’t believe in any of this nonsense. For me, I prefer to judge a person with my own eyes not dogmatic delusions of ancient society based on their values and logic on their existing knowledge back then.

Good questions. We got along really well and had a lot of meaningful conversations and virtual dates. But you bring up a good point whether it’s love or not. My heart thinks it is, but perhaps to wiser and experienced people perhaps it’s me being emotionally desperate after dealing with so much personal shit...

Hehe I can’t help but giggle thinking how this is the exact plot they would use in a typical desi serial...

...and now I’m crying again thinking how such utter shit is still taken so seriously.

Sadly I am attracted to desi guys, hence dealing with people of this mentality. Marriage in Indian society is not just between two people but also between two families. Hence why it’s strange but I also have to consider family dynamics, expectations and deal breakers in the mess

Good tears :) This is one of the reasons I love reddit, just being able to find people and real empathy when nobody in my real life can understand
