I'm an intern and I'm wondering if life really is better after residency. I love watching resuscitations and doing procedures but now that I'm the one responsible I feel like a complete idiot and have anxiety all the time. Obviously the attendings are there but we have a pretty big ED and they aren't always easy to find and I can't be running every single little thing by them. Next year for a few hours in the early morning it's just one resident running 30 beds and I'm terrified of that.
On top of it I feel like I'm literally at the hospital 24/7 and I haven't even done ICU or trauma yet. I have a 8 month old boy and wife at home that I miss every day.
Part of me thinks I'll be working a little less when I graduate and making more money and I'll be more confident but damn I feel pretty ****ty right now...
