hi all, looking for advice. So I'm a resident and ever since i started it has been terrible. program is good and we aren't abused but I've never been more depressed and hopeless about the future. Im too pot committed to leave now. I realize the grass is greener but if everything is really worse than this then I'm in trouble. I just have not been satisfied or interested in the work; we aren't supposed to be technicians but thats all it feels we are. none of our attendings seem happy or enthusiastic, very few of our residents seem so. Same with all the non-physician staff. Maybe its an academic thing? I feel stripped of my enthusiasm, creativity, youth. I understand the utility of finishing, though I can not see myself practicing at this point, but is there any way to decompress how long it takes to finish all the certifications?
