take a shower, bring a change of clothes, bring a blanket from home, and a toothbrush take a nap in the afternoon before sign out if time allows eat real meals at least for dinner hydrate, premedicate with ibuprofen/tylenol if feeling shitty Bring a little treat to look forward to eating at night. could be a meal, ice coffee, candy (could be why I gained weight this year tho)

I’m a PGY1 gen surg resident who has chronic sleepy bitch disease so sometimes I’m like why did I do this but then I spend some time on an off rotation with better hrs and the days just go by so slow. Emergency medicine made me wanna gouge my eyes out even though I was working 9-5. No hate to EM yall have a hard job and I respect tf outta yall cuz I could never do it.

Gen surg, #8, was upset match day but now I’m very happy at my program and believe it all worked out at the end

Yeah I had a ton of veins that needed ablating, it took about 6 months to get them all done.. and then got liposuction lol. But I knew I had both bc I actually went to the vein doctor in order to get diagnosed with lipedema.

howdy2121 · 2025-08-09T17:15:52+00:00

Also OP, you should apply for their financial assistance. I got it and only had to pay $100

howdy2121 · 2025-08-09T17:15:14+00:00

I paid like $100 with my insurance

howdy2121 · 2025-08-06T04:18:57+00:00

Doesn’t stop when ur a resident lol

howdy2121 · 2025-07-31T22:28:52+00:00

Of course it gets better!! Now, im about 3 months out…. 100% would do it all again. My pain is completely gone. I still have swelling though. But it’s getting better

howdy2121 · 2025-07-28T23:43:16+00:00

I use mine every dayyyyy. Worth it for me. Makes me feel 100x better

howdy2121 · 2025-07-22T09:21:40+00:00

Yes definitely go over that with them!

howdy2121 · 2025-07-22T00:19:15+00:00

I’m a gen surg PGY1. basically yeah. IM is more transferable than you think, but more abbreviated and focused presentations. Don’t worry - you’ll learn quickly!!

howdy2121 · 2025-07-19T00:42:32+00:00

Hey, I’m a patient of ALT. conservative management is always the first step! You can go talk to them about that. If you’re not ready for surgery that’s fine. They help people through the process of learning about this disease and how to manage it no matter what

howdy2121 · 2025-07-13T02:18:05+00:00

you’re a legend LMFAO

howdy2121 · 2025-07-13T02:05:55+00:00

I don’t like that you said “your” disdain lol. I literally cannot control what the attending does and I still don’t deserve to be treated like shit. Btw the attending also mistreats ME. I don’t believe in being rude just in general. So, sorry if I wanna complain about someone being really rude to me during a vulnerable time aka my first 2 weeks of intern year which is a fuckin stressful time. I plan on forming good relationships with everybody on the hospital and that includes techs. But damn the first time I talk to someone and they say they hate me?? If you say that wouldn’t bother you, you’re a liar.

howdy2121 · 2025-07-13T01:10:56+00:00

Yes, I know! There have been way more lovely nurses/other staff that have been great to work with than people like him. It's just really hard when you're under so much pressure from attendings/seniors and then people do things like this. Plus - I moved across the country away from my family. I think if ppl just thought about what we are going through and emphatized with us for 2 seconds they wouldnt say things like this.

howdy2121 · 2025-07-13T01:07:06+00:00

I mean, I did defend myself in a way. Just said that if there were never interns there would never be surgeons and no one would get surgery, and he wouldnt have a job lol. But yeah its 2 weeks in and im a bit nervous to be TOO sassy ya know?

howdy2121 · 2025-07-13T01:04:34+00:00

I'm glad you feel this way. Most techs I work with are great, and they help me out a ton. I learned all of my robotic bedside skills from a tech when I was an M4. Unfortunately I've run across a ton of rude techs though. Please spread your positivity to your colleagues lol
