Allow me to elaborate a few points and share a few of your gems from the past (ie the post linked above).
1. In that post which was from may 2008, you stated that you had graduated 5 years prior. . . so you graduated med school in 2003? Chances of matching pretty slim if so. When I first saw this post I thought, well geez I better tread lightly, this poor eager beaver new intern has had a rough go of it. But no. You've been banging your head against this wall for seven years now? I think it is time for a reality check. Once again my hopes of you really taking this to heart are slim, but here is my best effort.
2. You are not entitled? Behold:
"Now I want to go back to clinical medicine. i think I deserve to be a doctor in clinical medicine working with patients--not a part-time $5/hr lab rat not even getting benefits, mooching off parents to pay the rent. and even that is good, because a lot of places only allow you to volunteer only. I mean that was a great experience to write papers, but there's a point when you're like um I'm an MD for gosh sake---I'm supposed to be seeing patients, or own my own lab, be finishing residency by now, etc. Where is all that pie I'm supposed to get with the MD package I worked so hard for?
Something needs to seriously be done. The system isn't right to do this to residents and leave them to wither away trying to find a job--and there aren't many jobs out there made for MD's unless it's pharma, teaching or research. and that's not what I want-I want clinical..how can they ruin your dream? we went to med school, that should be respected and cherished not thrown away like garbage."
No one "deserves" it. You earn it. You are a few dollars short. And who is this ominous "they"? There is no "they". Its all YOU buster.
3. I am in ophthalmology, and there is an interesting ophthalmological clinical correlate to your particular outlook on life. It's called Anton's syndrome, you have probably read about it and forgotten it several times. To sum it up simply, if someone's occipital lobe strokes out, they can be completely 100% legally blind, but they don't know it, and there is nothing you can do to convince them of the fact. They will try to walk around, and when they trip over the coffee table they will accuse you of tripping them. If you ask them to describe what you are wearing they will confabulate in great detail. Very similar to you and your opinions of your medical career. Let me run a few of you past comments through a reality filter and tell you whats really going on.
I could only manage to get one attending to write me a decent LOR, the rest acted like they didn't know me long enough, even though I worked with them for the month.
Um, when attendings are reluctant and evasive about writing LOR's, its because they will not be able to write you a positive one. That's really all there is to it.
"I did not put my past PD letter from IM in ERAS though. I think I'm just afraid to send it because there are some negatives like "low satisfactory", and calling it suboptimal, rather than just saying plain satisfactory, which is what it really is. Suboptimal means less than satisfactory, but that isn't true--- yet in the end of the letter he said he supports me in getting another program."
I'm sorry to inform you that suboptimal actually DOES mean suboptimal. Again, in case you forgot, suboptimal does not equal satisfactory. It means you were suboptimal in the areas you were rated as suboptimal in. OHH!! but how can I explain the fact that your program director was eager to support you in getting another program? Hmm, if I am a program director and I have a suboptimal resident who is wanting to go to another program. . well I am going to be ecstatic about helping him in that endeavor.
"It's hard to have much hope after you even go to Hopkins and get published. I thought that would make the home run! Sometimes I wonder does it intimidate a program to hire someone that had experience at a place like that?"
You know, I tried shoving that one through the reality filter and it just got jammed in there and shattered the whole thing. So yes. They were intimidated by your oh so stellar academic past.
And with the filter being broken, well, the rest just are what they are.
"I don't see what is so wrong with my CV--I added many credentials....grrrr."
"she kept saying she could have been stuck--there was never any proof it was my needle either"
And my personal favorite:
"i mean i saw so many patients die on nightfloat"
That is all. Please continue to post, you are very entertaining.
I would greatly appreciate it. Please PM me or something. I probably need all the help I can get.
fair warning to you all, if you get a hold of this list be careful who you share it with. It's against NRMP policies to share the list with people who did not sign up with the NRMP, and it will get you in deep poo poo. If you really feel compelled to share stuff, being as anonymous as possible. 
until Thursday , than we can
. Haha... I love animated icons... they tend to do a better job of expressing "tone" when typing since things are taken out of context all the time on the internet.
