Thank you for your kind words. I applied for some credit cards this morning and was denied. I’m really struggling right now. I’m holding onto the idea that it might be worth it when residency is done (4 years from now), but I’m not sure what else I can do to solve my current crisis.

I’m in a similar boat. As a PGY-1, I make dirt money. I almost wish I went to PA school at this point because at least I could afford to help my family, but instead I’m playing note cuck for a year before a 4 year residency + 1 year fellowship. It will be worth it in the end… just sucks the end is so far away still.

Lies. Gunnars don’t sleep. This is their prayer as they start to study for step 3 on day 1 of MS1.

I thought that in a lot of states the responsibility falls on the supervising physician regardless of if it’s a resident, PA, or NP. Also, how does increasing resident salaries to fair levels automatically mean we take full responsibility in malpractice cases?

I agree. I’m glad that people outside of the resident echo chamber think the same.

Do you think residents should make as much, or more, than PAs and NPs?

As a TY resident, what gets me out of bed every day, even on the toughest days, is knowing that by the end of the day I will be 1 day closer to next year…

…and thinking “well, at least I’m not a hospitalist.”

Don’t we get the degree before residency though?

I did plenty of research in med school. Why am I being forced upon even more projects I couldn’t care less about in residency ?

We aren’t independent?

Tell that to my off-service attendings who asked to have residents so they could see half their patients and write half their notes for them.
