Message: <blockquote data-quote="Law2Doc" data-source="post: 7423568" data-attributes="member: 58013">The amount of yelling not only varies significantly by school, but probably varies by student within each school -- there tend to be a handful of attendings in any hospital who are not "student friendly" but it only takes bad luck of getting a couple of them to really taint an elective. Others in your same school may skate by without working with these types and have a totally different experience. I think that's part of why some people end up loving the specialty you despised and vice versa -- med students are easilly influenced by the experience they had on those rotations.  As for the hours, many programs will have portions of various electives being q3 or q4 overnight, so you absolutely might experience what an 80 hour work week, or being at the hospital for 30 hours straight is like. That doesn't make it bad, but it does make it hard. Again, 3rd year is very enjoyable, and it's really what most folks were waiting for when they came to med school -- no longer being exclusively in the classroom, and actually seeing patients and doing stuff.  But that doesn't mean it isn't also the hardest year. It is. You may end up sleep deprived, your time won't be your own, you may end up verbally berated at times, and you still have to find time to study for shelf exams every couple of months.</blockquote>
