Clearly people do. I don't know what you want to know. I don't have kids.

Random but do you have a spouse/partner? If not, is there any time at all for any resemblance of a love life or is it pretty much the bachelors life until you're done with residency?

I do not but half of my co-residents are married or engaged. Same applies to my co-residents on the gen surg side.

so they manage. Could you?

One of my family friends/OMS I work for got married at like 20, then had a kid at probably 26 during residency. Now they have two kids and are a very happy family.

Do you ever have q1

This happened a few times in my residency. I was once in the hospital for 96 hours straight...not on face call, but oh my the pus. When I got home I slept for 24 hours. Literally, 24 hours straight rack time. I went to bed at 7am after rounds and woke up the next day at 7am. The only reason I woke up then was because I had to piss like a horse.

Another time, during a 10 day period between USMLE and starting med school, I was in the hospital 200 out of the 240 hours. Other than that, mostly Q3 as an intern with occasional Q2 stretches. Rotating back as a 3rd and 4th yr med student was Q3-Q5. General surgery had implemented a "night float" so call was Q week, except at the VA, where it was Q3.

The program avangusva is at sounds very similar in structure to my program as well. I second everything he is saying, minus the 2 years wasted on an MD
