Hey,
This is going to be my venue to let of some steam, maybe give people a glimpse into what life as a surgical resident is.
So about me - I'm currently doing my intern year in general surgery. This year has had some incredible highs and devastating lows that I've never experienced before. Its changed me as a person, and I'm only halfway done...
I have a ton of stories and thoughts to share from the first half of the year, and I'll sure I'll have more by the end of it.
A little bit about me, I went straight from undergrad/med school/residency, and picked surgery because I loved being in the OR and loved the definitive intervention. An 8 week med school rotation did not prepare me for this, but having said that I wouldn't trade what I do for anything. I'm actually doing urology, so life will get a hell of a lot better once this year is over. I'm a laid back guy, before this year never really yelled at anyone, and pretty low key/low stress.
Ok enough for now, pager going off...
