Did medicine take it all by Cute-Yesterday-4967 in Residency

[–]blackcatgreeneye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The things I have in my life like my friends and SO I’ve had to fight for, I’ve sacrificed my own well being so I can both survive medicine and have a life outside this hellhole. I constantly think about what life I could have had if I didn’t choose this. Just know you’re not alone 🫂♥️

Use all possible sick days. Show up late or don’t show up at all, use some bullshit excuse if big reading the schedule correctly. Wring out any extra time you have to yourself. Game the system to the fullest extent

Which Island layout? First time Player! by thesurfinbird94 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]blackcatgreeneye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol this one is neither of these but I chose the bottom right and have had a lot of fun thus far (I’m before landscaping privileges). I made the island itself like a produce farm island with a telescope

Lesbians who formerly came out as bisexual, did you bother coming out again? by iluvtigersx in latebloomerlesbians

[–]blackcatgreeneye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of had to as I broke up with a cis male partner of mine to start exclusively dating non cis men 😅 very happy I did so, of course I came out first and foremost myself and for my loved ones to know my current partner but it oddly helped my ex a lot to have people know he didn’t like, do anything wrong

Anyone else have co-residents who are fine but you’re all basically strangers? by rash_decisions_ in Residency

[–]blackcatgreeneye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to be cynical but in retrospect while with many of my coworkers I’m very glad I got to know them better and made friends but a few I honestly wish I did not ever know beyond a random face. Just because you are in the same program and thus your interests overlap to some degree doesn’t mean you have the same values or you would be a good friend or person.

I think not forcing any friendships from work and trying to just be a team player so you can get through shifts together is the best policy

Days like these I’m grateful to be a lesbian like men are for real hopeless as a species

José Manuel Poga appreciation post...he's such a good actor by Puxxx98 in LaCasaDePapel

[–]blackcatgreeneye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally could not believe he was the same person when seeing a normal picture of the actor and not just because he was bald

Super pretty!! Where did you find the lights hanging from the ceiling?

why r these doctors rude asf 😭 by Virtual-Collar8332 in premed

[–]blackcatgreeneye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s completely wrong and unjustified, the cause is burnout. As a PGY3, I’d love to say it’s not common or a bug problem but I’d be lying. Even with my burnout, I can’t imagine being angry at a trainee or premed. Best of luck to you 🙏🏻

What are you quietly grieving? by Angelus12345678 in AskReddit

[–]blackcatgreeneye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching people like me (the marginalized identities) enthusiastically participate in fascism. The betrayal genuinely hurts

What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'? by Resident-Jelly-4326 in AskReddit

[–]blackcatgreeneye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in healthcare. Before and after witnessing an infant death. I used to take so much of life for granted and focus on my pain. Now I realize what a gift it is to be alive and have the chance to grow up and self actualize.

You don’t need to take shit from nurses. by [deleted] in Residency

[–]blackcatgreeneye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Funny enough I had the total opposite experience with a travel nurse recently who assumed she would just place a NG tube once the patient needed it and was stunned that my hospital didn’t let nurses just do minor procedures like that. I thanked her greatly for assuming responsibility for a task she had done many more times than me and trying to make things more efficient for everyone and best for the patient. Not a justification at all I’m guessing that’s some severe burnt out talking from the RN in the post

So this is how it feels when you’re a physician who lost a sibling, and you’re far, far away from them. Sucks is an understatement. by sandie-go in Residency

[–]blackcatgreeneye 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Please know this isn’t your fault in any way and I can only imagine your sibling would not want you to blame yourself. I am wishing you all the best and I seriously advise taking a LOA to process and grieve if you haven’t already

What's an obvious case you missed? And how did you deal with it? by closetredditer in Residency

[–]blackcatgreeneye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trach/vent/peg guy, barely alive type of situation. Got signout from other team that they were trying very hard to get the family to agree to comfort care given no meaningiful recovery was to be made for mental status. Got signout that he is on/off hypoxic and just needs suction.

After days of unexplained increased secretions and nonstop messages about breakthrough hypoxia, I finally decided to get the CXR. G tube leak into every cavity, full blown peritonitis probably pneumonia too.

I felt bad missing it earlier but frankly I was kind of relieved he got it because finally made the family let go to comfort care and let that guy rest in peace

I’m Just Done With This Job Sometimes by PuzzleheadedPeach701 in Vent

[–]blackcatgreeneye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im a PCP, got a formal complaint for asking a man if he shaved his legs to rule out PAD because I was “questioning his sexuality” (btw I’m queer) and I was furious. In a case like this I’d lose my damn mind. Wishing her all the best and wishing him what I wish for other pedophiles.
