The night of 4 rice krispie treats.

[riamd]

This past saturday was my most hellacious call yet. It required multiple trips to the residents lounge for sustinence, aka rice krispy treats. By the title, you can ascertain that there was not a whole lot of time for breathers, let alone any square meals... although.. rice krispy treats are rather square..hmmmm

Wow, that seriously brings back memories for me.....

I cried during my second medicine call as an intern. I almost made it out the door, but about an hour before sign out, I couldn't take it another second and I cried. I was so miserable and frustrated and on top of that... I was tired.

But I think a lot of what got to me was that my resident was so damn unsupportive. I know you said that your resident is sweet, but it sounds like she was giving you a hard time a lot on your call. I hate it when residents get all condescending. And when I cried during my call, my resident acted all nice and apologetic, but she continued to be a mega-bitch during calls. Then again, calls are stressful, no matter who you're working with.

Anyway, the best I can say is that you won't have to deal with this kind of crap next year. Rehab is better that I even imagined :)

Was this mega-bitch by chance named Jessica?

Maria, of all of us you toally get the shaft. How do you do it....it sounds SO miserable from your blog...and after you described that patient you consulted ortho on, I was super excited I didn't have JUST that patient, not to mention the ten other super sick/crazy people you had!
I'm sorry chica, so this is an internet hug (not as good as the real thing, but hope it helps).
Love you,
Lacey
