After banging out roughly 60 hours in four days this week, I finally have a day off and have been wanting to do this for a bit. Previous threads here:

(guess I didn't make one for MS4... my bad)
What kinds of questions do you have? This is meant to be less of an application advice thread and more of a learning about life as an intern and the more "intangible" aspects of the experience that you might be curious about if you're interested in getting into medical school or in the midst of applying to medical school now.
For background: I'm a psychiatry resident but am currently on an inpatient internal medicine service. So far I've rotated in the psych ER at a large county hospital and an inpatient substance use unit at the VA, both for a month. My current rotation is at the aforementioned large county hospital.
I would encourage any other interns to join in with their experiences as well.
So, ask away - what kinds of questions do you have about the enigmatic, soul-sucking intern year?
