On my second week of surgery at a major university hospital.
I feel absolutely miserable. The pimping is record high. I get that it's useful-but when done the right way.
Our chief will pimp us and when we get something wrong look at us like we are dumb, say cold things, etc. The questions he asks are often things not found in any prep book (Pestana, DeVirglio etc) and I'm fine looking it up but to be treated like I'm dumb for not knowing random detailed facts? I've also seen the chief yell at the other residents. I've seen attendings yell at residents. It just goes on.
How did you guys survive this rotation? I walked into this rotation feeling decently confident about myself. I now feel totally inept.
