Im a transitional year student at a categorical radiology program. My intern year has going OK although I wish I had more time to do study and do radiology stuff before my R1 year starts but I understand its part of the process. I've rotated through internal medicine, ICU, orthopedics, family medicine etc. But I can't help but notice that a lot of the people I work with including nurses, attendings, residents, nursing assistants and even freaking phlebotomist have their own two cents about my career choice. Sometimes it's light hearted but other times I've felt some real disdain by these people towards my career choice. Throughout my intern year whenever someone finds out I'm a radiology resident I get comments that assume I don't know how to do or know anything. I never get to do procedures, never get to present my own patients, never get to do notes without supervision and many other things. I feel like everyone almost hates their own career choices and having to be forced to work long hours so they look at my career choice as a lifestyle choice rather than a choice that I made because I genuinely have a passion for it. I have never felt less like a healthcare provider in my life besides being a 3rd year medical student lol. Anybody else have similar experiences during intern year and want to share some thoughts? Thank you.
