Day 17 of 100 Days of Productivity (contd.) 🪴

It’s been a really good day! Aced most of it considering it was my first day back at this.

Here’s what my day looked like:

Did an hour and a half of workout and yoga early in the morning

Ate morning health blessings - dates, walnuts, soaked peas, anjeer and almonds

Sat down and ranted with my roommate for an hour completely forgetting I have college to get to 😳

Walked to my first day of Paediatrics posting which by the way was absolutely fantastic

Finished college lectures for the day

Discussed my research project with my professor and mentor

Came back to my hostel room, took a half an our break and danced to old love songs 😋

Sat down to study Pharmacology and got up straight for dinner

Was super tired so called it a day early but I’m gonna wake up early the next day!

It’s only the first day which makes saying big things seem like throwing words around but it already feels so good.

Haven’t felt this satisfied with myself in a pretty long time. So hopefully I’ll keep this up and ace this year academically 🦦

P.S.: I am now officially the owner of a jade plant and a cactus. I’m so excited to take care of them! I’ll share the pictures next time 🌵

The spring semester started and so far I am loving it! Do you have traditions or routines you would recommend for starting a new semester?

When you’re burnt out from working 80 hours a week and on the edge of losing your damn mind from sleep deprivation but then someone gives you a small snack or you have time to sit down and drink a cup of water:

Today I had the chance to drink a whole cup of water between OR cases and I almost cried of happiness. When the highlight of your day is that you had the chance to pee once, something is wrong.

Residents like me work 80 hours a week (sometimes more) for what calculates out to be less than minimum wage because this is how residencies are structured and because we are the last line between patients and unsafe care. You didn’t hire enough nurses? Have the resident remove/place foleys and NG tubes. You didn’t hire enough transport staff? Have the resident transport patients. I can’t in good conscience let my patients have less than the standard of care, but it becomes unsustainable when you don’t have enough staff. To top this all off, my hospital CEO got a raise of millions of dollars this year, but my raise to next year doesn’t even keep up with inflation. People justify this treatment of residents by saying that oh well we will be rich when we’re attendings, as if having a higher salary in the future justifies this kind of exploitation. I know residents right now who are struggling to afford healthcare for their children, who struggle to find affordable housing within the area we are required to live because of home call. There is simply no justification for the amount of work we do compared with our pay (or the hours we work period).

Maybe this is just a long way of saying please be kind to residents in the hospital. We work really hard within a really broken system and care a lot about our patients.
