#med student life
T minus 135
Keeping this drive despite the uncertainties of the future. I don’t know when I will become a doctor, but I’ll just try everyday to work towards that.

T-143
I remember drawing all the branches of the abdominal aorta until its terminal branches back when I was a first year med student. Yet, I can’t seem to master them completely!

“It’s nothing personal.”
Something we hear often after being yelled at for something entirely out of our control. I’ve been seeing some news about physician abuse. Whether verbal or emotional or physical, it happens. And it sucks.
But here’s the thing. A lot of times there are laws to protect healthcare workers from abusive patients. But what happens when the abuse comes from fellow colleagues? Senior doctors who feel entitled to demean anyone with a lesser job title? What laws protect us as students from being made to feel inadequate every time we don’t know the right answer? Why are we promoting this idea that scolding/yelling/being mean is the way to make sure we learn?
We are promoting a whole different type of abuse and making it seem like it’s okay because hey, it’s nothing personal right?
I hope we can find it in us to be kind to everyone around us this week..
