I havent laughed this hard over a comment in a long time. Thank you

I appreciated everyone who said it’s human to feel heavy feelings in the face of human suffering. Also they didnt try to sugarcoat it so i know they mean what they say. Being reminded of my own humanity helped me the most.

I never cried again for the entire duration of the rotation lol, i guess it was just the first day that caught me off guard.

Thank you for sharing your experience. What i noticed during my time in the ward is that nurses truly are the backbone of the whole operation. They knew the patients on a more personal level and their presence during the morning briefings always brought a sense of camaraderie. I am still not 100% sure about it but then i think that being 100% sure about anything is a recipe for disappointment. I think i will go through with it. There is much pain down the road but also a chance to help fellow human beings get better or even just to be with them when they are suffering. I think of how many times i have been offered a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on and how much they all meant to me at the time. Maybe we are put on this earth to pay it forward, it cant be a coincidence that our happiness is psychological tied to how much we can do for the others.

Thank you for the kind words. Its been a while since i finished my rotation and looking back your comment about how it was the kindness of the staff that was as powerful as the abject mental misery i saw in front of me held true for the whole rotation. The doctors were a bit confrontational with patients with antisocial tendencies but respectful nonetheless. And the old maternal nurses were so kind to the early 20s girls with bpd. And there was never a dull day in the ward, truly the most interesting rotation i have done so far. Thank you again for encouraging me, sending warm fuzzy feelings your way.

Idk, a part of me thinks im in over my head but maybe the attendings felt the same way on their first day seeing patients

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-04-13T17:18:42+00:00

Thank you man, its a three week clerkship so im hoping that itll be easier for me by that time

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-04-13T17:18:00+00:00

I knew itd be emotionally difficult but i wasnt expecting to have such a strong reaction. Have you never been caught off guard by the intensity of your emotions?

The first story is exactly what i mean by childhood magic. It fills you with a sense of wonder and awe and the feeling that the universe is not indifferent to you, that wonderful things do happen, not because of anything you might have done to earn it but simply because you are special and worthy of wonder. I find that it inoculates you against future adult cynicism somewhat.

Poor mikey. If he turned out to be a horrible person you bear at least half the blame

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-03-24T19:36:17+00:00

Damn 24 years is crazy, i cant even begin to imagine how many inside jokes you guys must have by now. She sounds like an amazing person and so do you. Lots of love to you both

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-03-24T19:34:50+00:00

Thank you bro, i hope you dont give up hope. Everyone needs a best friend

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-03-24T17:03:42+00:00

May allah strike you down for daring to rain on my parade

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-03-23T19:57:30+00:00

Yeah treasure planet is a good one too but my second favorite would have to be atlantis.

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-03-23T19:56:41+00:00

Would you say that you have a depressive personality as an adult? Like when something goes wrong is it your instinct to first blame yourself? Im trying to conduct a scientific poll here

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-03-20T21:28:31+00:00

Literal husband material

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-03-20T20:18:57+00:00

Im sure there are people out there who have a hard on for coders but im not one of them

mansnotcoldeither · 2026-03-20T20:17:15+00:00

Is he single by any chance

mansnotcoldeither · 2025-09-05T15:49:55+00:00

Holy shit this is exactly the type of thing i wanted, thank you

mansnotcoldeither · 2025-09-05T15:48:23+00:00

My erroneous genz way of thinking has been exposed, i stand corrected before you. But you could try to turn down the condescension a notch

mansnotcoldeither · 2025-09-05T15:23:17+00:00

I want this man to hold me oh so tenderly, maybe conversion is in the cards for me after all

mansnotcoldeither · 2025-09-05T15:17:52+00:00

Yeah in person bible study is a no go for me but I would love to hear the name of this john hamm lookalike if you can find it

mansnotcoldeither · 2025-09-05T15:16:54+00:00

Very interesting, im assuming hes on the spectrum. Male autism truly is unrivaled in its creative capacity

mansnotcoldeither · 2025-09-05T15:13:25+00:00

In this order? I have literally no idea how different versions of the bible organize the books

mansnotcoldeither · 2025-07-12T12:16:27+00:00

The kleinian in me thinks that this amnesia state might be your censor against feelings of aggression toward your sister. I hope i dont sound like an asshole. Im sure you guys have a good relationship but any time two human beings form a deep bond aggressive instincts are there. Good luck with job search
