After 9 months as a gen surg intern at a reasonably reputable university program Ive made a couple of observations. The gen surg environment is seriously a world based on retribution and pain. No one gives a rat's arse if you kept 4 services you are cross-covering locked down tight when on call. If you miss seeing a hemodynamically stable NAD patient with a little nausea because you were trying to save an acutely decompensating person losing her airway and you get ripped a new one in the morning by people who shoot first and never give you the chance to clarify issues. WTF? Yes I know you all have been there before, and Yes, I know it is the intern's job to eat $hit and like it, but things are starting to become ridiculous. I am convinced that no junior resident in my program really enjoys being at the hospital.
I guess it would be a bad career move to point out to my chiefs and attendings that they are being unfair. Surely there has to be some other strategy to handling this kind of stuff (besides bending over and taking it in the rear-Im running out of vaseline and patience)
I love the OR but I hate my job.
