Guys. I can’t believe I’m starting residency in a specialty I only rotated in for 3 weeks 😂💀

Still not 💯 on here and looking like we might change to surgery before chemo

Please reshare. Thank you for your love, prayers, support and kindness.

:) second time’s the charm

OMG THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY 😭😭😭 congratulations on your persistence and success!!

Yes please omg

I’ve been gone too long. The WHAT saga?

Can confidently say this round has gone better than the last, but the anxiety does remain 🫣

"rationing by inconvenience": health insurers deny tons of claims -- including retroactive denial after prior authorization -- knowing tons of patients won't effectively appeal

I’m nearing the finish line of this match cycle and I am so so tired and so full of absolute dread

Confirmation of life, fellow blueskyers 🫣

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches.

But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

I have now done 8 interviews and am just in a constant flux of anxiety and dissociation lol

Men finding out I’m a doctor and then no longer being interested in me this week: 2

🫠 masculinity so fragile

Interviewing for a research job this week and I’m feeling stressed/like giving up already

Trying to figure out what else I’m going to apply to is not going well, besties

Feeling a little better after a lot of alcohol, a moderate amount of time in the sun, and many therapeutic chats with my unmatched besties. This will pass… it’ll pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass 😔

I wish I had just gone through with my original plan of research year instead of entering the SOAP because the result is the same, but now I have never felt so fucking bad about myself in my life 🙂

No interviews going into offer rounds so I guess we’ll see, but it’s looking pretty grim

The SOAP process is absolutely exhausting

Phew. Today was a whirlwind in the worst way. Fingers crossed for my next steps 🤞 and if you’re in the same situation, remember that hungry 👏 dogs 👏 run 👏 faster 👏

Also on the topic of beauty trends, I’m so glad we’re leaving clean girl aesthetic in 2024 and embracing glitter again

I curse the name of whoever brainwashed us all into avoiding silicone hair products

Find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it

Had surgery today and boy howdy that shit was a disaster on all accounts EXCEPT my lovely anesthesia team

Less than 4 weeks until I find out if I matched or if I’m completely up shit creek without a paddle lol

This is truly the worst time to be looking for research positions 🥲

Spent an hour walking a med student through how to succeed on their sub-i and it was the most rewarding part of my week. I got to be who I needed as an M4 🥲 just wish I’d had someone do the same for me

One of my proudest moments in medical school was when I stood up for my undocumented patient and got them the care they needed in spite of my bigoted asshole attending. I will never forget it and I’ll never forgive the fact that I had to.

My cat, who ate so fast she threw up, tried to eat her vomit, then dragged her ass on the floor to dislodge poop that was stuck to her butt would still make a better HHS secretary than RFK Jr.
