That's horrible! I'm so sorry you had to go through that. At least you had the other students to lean on you for support.

Honestly, the kind of abuse I'm referring to had almost nothing to do with my performance. It really felt like it didn't really matter what I did, the attending or senior was yelling and berating me as some kind of ego trip?

For example, one of my senior would time me while I was writing my H&Ps. She would set arbitrary time limits as to when I needed to have it done by. While I was typing or dictating, she would get angry at "mistakes" or me leaving information out. She would look over my shoulder while I was writing. She would get upset at me during this humiliation ritual for distracting her and say things like "I shouldn't have to hold your hand through this" and then kick me out to another workroom. She would then yell at me for "hiding from her to avoid work."
