The title says it all. What is/was yours? Why?
Our halfway point for third year was Friday and I'm just shy of a week into my latest rotation. It's Psych, and while I liked learning about psychiatric disorders in MS-2, I didn't think I would like tis rotation going into it and I was right. This is the first rotation I think I actually hate as opposed to feeling pretty neutral about or actually liking. I'm not on an inpatient psych service and I'm pretty damn bored. Objectively, I know it's not terrible but for me it's already getting to be one of those things that you're excessively irritated by every aspect of something because you don't like it even when it's at its best, like an annoying friend of a friend you can't even stand to hear speak.
I can at least take some small solace in the fact that I'm not alone, and several of my classmates have told me they're also already over this rotation, even at different sites from mine. My last three blocks are the specialty I'm by far most interested in and two others that I think I will like but not love, so I think it's safe to say this is going to be the worst rotation for me.The thought of another 5 weeks of this makes me want to gouge my eyes out. I didn't think about it at the time but having a slightly truncated rotation because of the Thanksgiving holiday is a blessing.
