MD co ‘20 Residency Panic Thread

[RHL ONE]

Can anyone give an impression of how soon after Friday we can expect to be contacted by our programs? When does the on-boarding and all the employment stuff typically begin?

Hold my beer. Actually my time zone makes it 9 AM so at least there is that.

so programs now know their roster. What are the chances a resident/PD would give us a hint where we match? like maybe a friend request in facebook? lol. Im just so anxious.

I wondered about that too, but I reckon it’s against Da Rulez

Do the residents know at this point or just the PDs?

PD/admin for sure. Residents not sure. Guess it depends on program.

At one of my programs, I’ve heard that the PD can send out a memo to faculty and residents.

The state of Massachusetts just passed legislation to expedite licensing for recent grads. So while I’m excited to match, 3 of my top 5 are in Mass this future ER doc is not excited to hop in this fight just yet.

Can't they just send me a winking emoji? I mean, that could mean anything!

That NRMP email last night send me into torsades...I thought they were about to release the results right there and then.

Crazy and surreal to think that it all comes down to tomorrow. 4 years of hard work, ups and downs, long hours, stress, anxiety, etc. I know everyone says the time goes fast but these last 4 years went by in an absolute blur. Especially these last two years on rotations. Plus, with this pandemic, a lot of uncertainty over what will happen over the next several months. Crazy times.

My state just asked medical students to volunteer to test patients.

With what resources besides being a virus vector?

I’d decline. You’re not even trained, you’re not a slave, and why risk dying when you’re not trained appropriately?

For being < 24 hours until our fates are sealed, THERE IS NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH PANIC IN THIS THREAD!!!

Fund of knowledge limited to infectious disease. Would encourage student to review literature outside of their area of interest.

After Monday the stress went down a little bit. But tonight it's maybe worse than it has ever been.

 

[Dantrolene FC]

I didn’t sleep well Sunday night, Monday night, or Tuesday night, so I had to take some Benadryl last night and it worked like a charm. I’m definitely take some more tonight.

Anxiety is so bad today. Yikes.

[deleted407021]

So what y’all reckon our chances are , roughly, of matching in our top 3? I figure it’s pretty good!

not that I’d be really unhappy until I’m down around 8, but ideally...

Dude. Go away. Why would you ruin current fourth years prime time? Literally the moment they’ve worked 4 years for and you come here to lay this steaming pile?
