Hello
I've been an Ob/gyn resident for two months (in my country, a student who has already chosen a speciality is called resident), and I am scared! Don't get me wrong, I love ob/gyn, I love the OR, I love the speciality per sé. The problem is, there is this enormous pressure to learn, there is competitiviy, there are attendants you need to please in order to learn...
In addition, I'm kind of having a bad streak. In a week or so, I've done many errors! No lethal errors thankfully, but kinda big errors nonetheless. And I'm kind of realizing now that one false scalpel move can be lethal for a patient or a baby.
I just need to talk with people who've been through these first few scary months, and to hear that every surgeon and doctor have made mistakes.
I'm really stressed and can't talk to anyone else about it.
