After avoiding it since the beginning of the pandemic, covid finally caught up with me.

I feel like crap

[randommomentsdevida]

Neurosurgery told me today that I used a lot of big words

Like

Cephalad

And caudal

And distal

Fellowship candidate: What's something you wish you knew before starting fellowship?

Me: Uhh... I wish I knew there was going to be a pandemic...

[randommomentsdevida]

Attending: If you could be any kind of doctor, what would you want to be?

Me: Retired

Today....

There was a dollar bill taped to my patient's abdomen.

[randommomentsdevida]

Omg please no I can't do another surge. I'm so done.

[randommomentsdevida]

My attending told me I’m not allowed to take a shot for every contaminated blood culture I see...

Rude

[randommomentsdevida]

I'm just trying to figure out why my food is still frozen thank you

[randommomentsdevida]

I’m so tired of COVID. 

Apparently my subconscious was also done because, in my sleep, I unplugged my phone and ran out the battery so the alarm wouldn’t go off in the morning. 

I can’t keep doing 10+ consults daily. 

I’m so tired of these young people who are sick and coming to the hospital. 

We have tocilizumab to a 33 yo this past weekend. 

33. 

He literally went from room air to vent to possible ecmo in 12 hours. 

I can’t.

Lol! Zombie team!

And yea ours was broken for awhile...

Lol true. Sure was nice about it. I'm just dumb

I like these thoughts.. Hm

Lol they weren't! That's what I was expecting though! I would show them but they have the hospital name stamped on it.

Lol I scored so bad on the infectious disease ITE. But like, I got the number, but I don’t know what it means. I just know it’s bad because my attending was like..umm, don’t feel bad. 

But like ok. Let’s be☀️🌠 real ☀️🌠

I don’t know what you were expecting when 99% of our didactics are on FUCKING COVID (which likely won’t be on our boards). If that’s all we talk about, how am I supposed to do well? 

And like, because of FUCKING COVID, my class missed out on a lot of the introductory lectures. 

I know SHIT about HIV because my clinic preceptor was supposed to retire, but then didn’t and still gives no fucks about teaching. He just wants to leave. 

We’re also rounding to 5/6/7 at night and I still have notes to do and thanks to FUCKING COVID, I have to shower every night before I might spread FUCKING COVID to my cats. So when am I supposed to read when I’m on service?

Although, there might be some pluses. Apparently, I did so bad that my PD is glad I’m not doing a ton of research projects (read: none). So maybe I can just not do none. Yea? 

Also, frustratingly, he said that maybe more service might help.... HOW?! ALL WE SEE IS FUCKING COVID. Also, all the areas that I scored fine in are...

SURGERY AND CRITICAL CARE, HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS, AND BACTERIAL INFECTIONS. I don’t think more service is gonna help with anything else because it’s all FUCKING COVID, AND SURGERY AND ICU AND HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATED SHIT. 

Also, I’m a TERRIBLE test taker. 

So yes. Please improve our didactics and take some responsibility for not giving direction and giving shit-tastic didactics. 

Thanks.

"...I’m looking forward to your presence but not what it represents in terms of workload lol"

When you're such a black cloud, you've made the non believer a believer

[randommomentsdevida]

I have about 150 left in my educational stipend.

Thoughts?

[randommomentsdevida]

I need someone else to obsess over this voice with me 😭

[randommomentsdevida]

Omg......

The hospital is giving us socks.....!
