9th March 2024 | Saturday
Day 1 of 100 Days of Productivity 🪴
Here is my day at a glance:
Started my new skin care regime
Ate a health bowl of fruits for breakfast
Studied my least favourite subject all day because mom picked that finger
Had study sessions with my bff
Used pretty study background
Ate all meals of the day
Did my night time skin care
Just doing all of this on day one made me feel motivated to do it the next day. Good luck to me! I hope I can complete this challenge and come out with better habits. 🍓

Med school is hard.
Today It got to me. I cried after coming home.
First year was hard but I had never cried.
I guess today everything just got to me.
I had a habit of just brushing the bad things off and focusing on the good part and being optimistic all the time , the bottling up, the stress of catching up with pharmac, micro and patho and studying medicine for the clinical postings and ward leaving has got me.
Every since college started I have been tired , there has been no day I've stayed up past 12 am. I couldn't study properly, but I'm trying . I fall asleep while reading Hutchinson at night, then during clinics I feel very guilty and bad cause I am not well prepared .

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.
