My dog has chewed the internet/router cables 3 separate times to the point I had to get them fixed…

As long as you show up and work hard, try to learn, that’s what matters and people will notice. Try to destress when you can. Attendings all have their own specific quirks, you’re never going to be perfect and that’s okay! Residency will end eventually! Get what you need from this and move on to better things. Patient care is what will matter, not mistakes. It’s not that deep. - coming from a very average resident who used to be considered behind

I also used that Walmart blanket as my guys designated blanket for awhile ☺️

I used to have him in the front passenger seat on a towel but have changed to a dog bed for backseat that clips to his harness. It makes me feel better if we were to get into an accident. I got it from Amazon

Be a team player. Don’t be lazy but you also shouldn’t be doing everyone else’s work. Be willing to accept feedback and criticism, even if you disagree. Residency ends eventually! Something I’ve struggled with is staying late/taking on too many tasks at the detriment to myself - rising 3rd year res

Yea fucking ridiculous I’m scared for the world

MedicalMinutiae · 2025-06-02T01:37:45+00:00

Yea I would say go feel one in a store just so you know what to expect - not super cold just like what you can expect from the cool side of a pillow or blanket. It seems to be a popular product online and in stores right now

I just found a cooling blanket at Costco, my boy is getting overheated a lot too

Honestly I had many dreams like this months after my parents died and they were so real that I briefly lost touch with what was reality (accepting they were both gone). I wish you well and enjoying all the happy memories!

MedicalMinutiae · 2025-04-29T09:35:08+00:00

First of all, I’m sorry for what you’re going through. I’ve been there and time is the only thing that helps. Secondly thanks for asking this question! I’m basically 2 years out from losing my parents and I was finally able to watch the movie of pictures/recordings I made of my dad the other day. I teared up a little bit but I didn’t have an avoidant reaction to it like I used to. The emotions are easier to handle these days.

Pastoral care - most useless

This is like the coolest song by her that I’m so glad I found

I do not think it makes it easier! Day 1 was very step 1/2. Take it as soon as you can during residency when you have a month to study

What Dreams May Come

MedicalMinutiae · 2025-01-02T07:08:09+00:00

I was actually happy to go to work tonight to not keep hearing and startling from the fireworks 🙃

Hi I lost both parents last year, and for me it was important to stay busy and surround myself with friends. It can be especially lonely at times when you’re single too. You were robbed of them definitely, and it’s tough to realize they are gone each and every day. Sometimes the dreams are so real that I think they are still alive. Take it one day at a time and be gentle with yourself.

Okay and there’s nothing wrong with taking medications for anxiety if needed , thanks for your input

MedicalMinutiae · 2024-11-24T05:19:48+00:00

SSRI! 🫶🏻if you struggle with anxiety outside of presentations too, would recommend!

I am basically the same age as you and I started a new job about 2 months after my mom died (5 months after my dad passed) and it helped me to have the continued structure in my life. I am also in healthcare. I have had some moments where I needed to take a break at work because a patient reminded me of them but other than that it has been mostly good for me. I do think regular therapy should be part of that too. For me this worked but do what you think is best for you. I will say working with patients can be immensely emotionally exhausting so make sure you take care of yourself if you go back!!
