As interviews are coming in, I'm starting to feel like a fraud. I'm worried that I don't really know anything and that I'll end up killing a patient.
I'm supposed to be in charge of people's lives next year! How can I do that?
In my spare time, I play guitar in a band, I hang out with my friends (who are NOT in medicine, btw), I hit on girls, and I reminisce about the only girl I ever loved. I'm no hero! I'm not a saint--I got thrown out of a bar for being too drunk! I don't live and breathe medicine!
My goal in life is to get married to a beautiful girl and travel the world! I'd rather live a healthy and happy life than sacrifice my health to work 100 hrs a week saving people's lives!
I got a bigger thrill when I hiked the appalachian trail than when I first successfully cardioverted someone!
This isn't a joke: I'm really scared. I've been having dreams where I'm an EM resident and the attendings are screaming at me, "You idiot! You don't know anything!"
We all know there's a certain amount of bull****ting that goes into completing medical school. Have I become so good at faking it that I've made it all the way through?
Seriously, I need some help!
