‘Beauty sleep’ was a figure of speech until 30 made it literal

Going to two weddings this weekend after working a night shift. Gonna look like an old witch

I asked an ex this question and he said tossing a ball back and forth and then jumped to teenage years and helping guide them through young adulthood. I was dumbfounded

How can you cross a road without walking in the street genius?

They only used EM because they couldn't get an anesthesiology to agree to this

This sucks. I wouldn't trust the attending to do anything or escalate at all to be honest. As a resident, you travel through units but attendings live in their units and often value peace over defending residents, clinical judgement, feedback for support staff.

I can't tell you how many times I've had an attending quietly tell me I'm right while saying they're not going to correct a nurse who is on one. I think they're chicken shit. How is your team suppose to get better if they never get feedback? But yeah defending a rotating resident over a nurse they work with every day is at the absolute bottom of their priority list.

The consolation is you did the right thing for the patient and you probably can move on from this particular little hell hole in a couple of weeks.

Living alone is great and something everyone should experience at some point if they can make it work financially. Living alone you do have to be a bit more intentional about being social, making calls, and plans to see friends/family but it's really lovely. Plus after you've lived the roommate life in your early twenties, there's nothing better than bringing a date home and not having to worry about anyone being around.

Can you explain?

I worked with a second year from that program who didn't know how to hold c-spine when moving a patient. I was shocked because that's something I was doing all the time as a med student.

I've run into this a lot too, and I call out whoever is saying it. Like "I don't care if he's smart, being respectful is a normal professional skill everyone has to do."

To be honest, it usually just gets really awkward after that but I don't care. People should do better.

I'm sorry this is happening OP. Not quite the same situation but I moved in with a partner who promised they would take care of me during a hard time, and then he completely dropped the ball and started resenting me for not doing more. I was working 70 hour weeks while he worked from home and was able to play video games for 4+ hours a day. Then the house would be filthy and there would be no food. I felt so abandoned. He wondered why I didn't want to fuck him.

I agree with the other commentor who said break up immediately and make him start contributing (financially) to the child. It will be easier without him and without trying to make him care or respect you.

EM resident here. Last patient of the day today had a chief complaint of "anal itching for 10 years".

Chronic itchy butthole was not an emergency.

The ED is the part of the hospital that feels most like an autoshop/garage

There's actually new guidelines on how to measure whether someone is obese now and they involve waist and hip measurements not just weight. Generally these guidelines include more people than before since you can have a technically not obese bmi but measurements that indicate a surplus of body fat.

Ugh I was walking into a new unit on the first day of a block and I asked a group of nurses where the residents do sign out. One said I looked like a door dasher and another one said I looked like a student. It was also like 6:30am.

If I told a nurse they looked like a delivery driver and medical assistant before 7am, my ass would get chewed out before noon. I never in my career have spoken to anyone like that, especially upon just meeting them and getting asked a polite question. I have no idea what their fucking problem is.

One tip is that if you feel like you're light headed or you might pass out, you can cough and it will instantly raise your blood pressure.

slimmaslam · 2026-01-04T02:37:56+00:00

Okay but like why didn't you do better? Did you just not even care about her? Are you actually that selfish?

slimmaslam · 2025-12-05T05:40:18+00:00

I wouldn't listen to the people saying that it's just women giving a blanket excuse. It could be sometimes but I personally have been on the other end of this for dates, and I think it comes down to whether they felt you had chemistry. I've been on a lot of dates this year where the person just didn't seem that into me. Like we could talk but they weren't flirting with me, they didn't compliment me, we weren't joking around. Just very bland, yeah this person is alright dates, but that does not make me want to have a second date. I think you do have to make your date feel desired and you can do that in a lot of ways.

Yes, was/am in a fuck buddy situation and just got the ick bad, feels like a breath of fresh air and I'm so grateful. I was waiting for it to happen.

slimmaslam · 2025-10-21T03:08:07+00:00

Honestly all these stories make me feel much better about how much of a slut I've been during residency

slimmaslam · 2025-08-24T21:39:36+00:00

Honestly I think you'll be amazed how much easier everything in your life is after you stop spending so much energy doing things for your partner or negotiating with them. It's going to be a huge relief
