Guys

My brother is home , on vacation after his semester ended. I have exams .

Cry ah rha hai .

So the past few days weren't very productive but still I managed to get stuff done.

I missed posting about day 2 and 3. Let me give you a brief of what I did .

Day 2 , my brother arrives, no work done , just endless talking and catching up on stuff. Day 3 , came home after college to find out , plans to go out for dinner have been made. I agreed to go , knowing very well I have a medicine test tomorrow and dermat ward leaving .

How did they go ? Good . Because I woke up at 3 am on the day of the test and studied for 4 hours continously. Test started at 7:55 am. ( fr)

Studied for dermat test while walking to the ward . ( nailed it by the way , especially with the level of preparation which was zero.) But then what mattered was , paying attention in the classes that happened , and I had class notes which is Supreme.

Now ,

Day 5 of 12 day productivity challenge

Went out for lunch after college with mom and brother. The place was lit , best food ever.

Came home , slept , catching up with the lack of sleep.

Studied

Pharmac : Monobactams

Patho : Emphysema

Chronic bronchitis

Read my tb robbins.

Wasn't much but will do better tomorrow!

20-21/70 days of productivity: 29-30/12

Done with the reproductive tract module, still have some questions on uworld but these will have to wait

Also, what’s better than study with me videos? Study with me livestreams with everyone being supportive in the chat, this year’s magical discovery probably

made a study den and had the most productive day of my life. I never thought it was humanly possible for me to study this much in one day.

Watching my fav drama for an hour at 2:00 am after studying the whole day felt like the best and the sweetest reward ever!! 🥂🥂

I feel so motivated after such a good day to make today amazing too! 💕

I think I felt the saying… you can only feel confident when you keep the promises you make to yourself

When you’re burnt out from working 80 hours a week and on the edge of losing your damn mind from sleep deprivation but then someone gives you a small snack or you have time to sit down and drink a cup of water:

Today I had the chance to drink a whole cup of water between OR cases and I almost cried of happiness. When the highlight of your day is that you had the chance to pee once, something is wrong.

Residents like me work 80 hours a week (sometimes more) for what calculates out to be less than minimum wage because this is how residencies are structured and because we are the last line between patients and unsafe care. You didn’t hire enough nurses? Have the resident remove/place foleys and NG tubes. You didn’t hire enough transport staff? Have the resident transport patients. I can’t in good conscience let my patients have less than the standard of care, but it becomes unsustainable when you don’t have enough staff. To top this all off, my hospital CEO got a raise of millions of dollars this year, but my raise to next year doesn’t even keep up with inflation. People justify this treatment of residents by saying that oh well we will be rich when we’re attendings, as if having a higher salary in the future justifies this kind of exploitation. I know residents right now who are struggling to afford healthcare for their children, who struggle to find affordable housing within the area we are required to live because of home call. There is simply no justification for the amount of work we do compared with our pay (or the hours we work period).

Maybe this is just a long way of saying please be kind to residents in the hospital. We work really hard within a really broken system and care a lot about our patients.
