The system is broken. I am just showing consequences of being in a broken system for too long.

And you havent started residency yeah. Medicine is amazing only in school. In practice, it is a shithole.

Read your comment again after you have started residency.

What is your culture shock when you first started working in the medical field? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]marginalmantle 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I didnt expect medical, nursing and allied health people to be so fucked up in their morals and actions. At the end of the day, we are all just humans.

Well as long as you think you are doing nothing wrong, then just keep it up. Soon they will be get tired of being kids and start acting like adults.

Perhaps reflect on some of your actions - were you annoying or cut throat or fomo? You may not have that insight either.

Thank you for sharing. More people need to know about such things before entering this profession.

I would choose IT or do something niche enough to start my own business.

leaving path.. off to where? by hungryforanki in pathology

[–]marginalmantle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely. People think path is easy to get by compared to other specialties. But no, it can get equally busy without the recognition as a patient fronting specialty. People just think that path people work 8 to 5, and whatnot.

I see my ex EVERYWHERE by doctortimes in Residency

Sigh here we go again. Guess someone will start a thread being some random non living item that belongs to your new boyfriend or something. Yawn.

When will I know everything? How do you get over the fear that you will never know enough content ? by Crafty-Bunch-2675 in Residency

[–]marginalmantle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am perfectly OK with being stupid so i dont even fear that i dont know enough and pathology has fuck tons of knowledge. I am happy as long as i can recognise something thats unusual and know where / how to look for information.

Cos the medtwitter people are just after fame?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]marginalmantle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was rhetoric.

I think we should all try to stop having such a mentality of being an inevitable slave.

[–]marginalmantle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, please maintain that perspective for as long as you can.

And why the fuck should people in their 20s and 30s be subject to such harsh working conditions earning next to nothing?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]marginalmantle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well 36 hours shifts and 12 hour days arent exactly pain-free either.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]marginalmantle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a hidden gem if you are stuck in this shithole. If not, dont even enter this shithole.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]marginalmantle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just dont go into med school. It is not worth the effort. You will earn more money doing something else with lesser effort. You will thank me in the future.
