So I took some headshots for ERAS at the psychiatry national conference and boy, do I look like absolute crap. Prolonged sleep deprivation really destroyed my face aesthetics.
I’m so grateful that I found the right field for me: psychiatry. I never, ever would have considered it, but it fits me very well for a number of reasons. Zooming out and in hindsight, it makes total sense that I’m doing this field. I love that there’s room for basically every kind of person here. Psychiatry is the most isolated part of medicine. As in, it’s the field most unlike the rest of medicine out of all specialties. That’s part of what makes it cool, because I identify with that on a personal level.
Listen, I am going to wear scrubs everyday as a psychiatrist, whether in the hospital or in the office, I don’t give a heck
I swear, so much of third year is
Learning how to get away with as much as you can, especially on surgery: just getting out of and avoiding the OR. Skipping lectures. People really don’t care as much as you think. I love it.
best feeling is when you just naturally click with a person. talking all day, every day, no forceful conversation, laughs, attention
I’ve only experienced this a few times in life. Sadting
Listen, I thought I was going to end up hating internal medicine the most, which I do, but I hate surgery even more. My time on surgery has truly been an assault on the spirit. Mo de suffer gannn. As in, I can just cry. It is truly inhumane what we’re required to do on surgery. And having to take call on top?? Olorun. I can more than see how people become severely depressed and suicidal on surgery.
Guys, I’m on trauma call right now. I wan cry 😭😭😭
Make them send me home, abeg. I’m too pretty to be staying up late, especially since I’m going into psychiatry. What kind of nonsense is this pls???
My people, you’ll be the first to know (not that anyone cares lol) that I’ve switched from ortho to psychiatry! Imagine. Do you know how long I’ve wanted to do ortho for? Donkey yearssss. I’ll do a longer write up later when I’m not tired out of my brain
Music is my heartbeat.
