Residency Tip 16: You memorized thousands of pages to get here. You can memorize your worth: it was never the eval.
Residency Tip 15: Thank the cleaning staff and security guards by name whenever you can. They also run the hospital.
So you chose psychiatry
The only specialty where your silence is a technique and not a weird awkward pause 😂🐬

Residency Tip 14: Don’t shrink to fit a toxic rotation. Four weeks of their culture is not worth forty years of your character.
So you chose Family Medicine. The only doctor treating the whole family tree in one afternoon 🐬
We love our family medicine doctors!!

Residency Tip 13: The nurse with twenty years on that floor is a free fellowship. Humility is the tuition.
Residency Tip 12: Bring the donuts sometimes. No reason, no occasion. Unprompted small generosity changes the whole weather of a workroom.
Residency Tip 11: Medicine will take everything you let it take. Saying no is not unprofessional. It’s how careers last forty years.
Shoutout to our heroes in lead aprons🐬🫀

Residency Tip 10: Don’t say “everything will be okay.” Say “I’ll watch you closely.”
One is a lie they’ll catch. The other is a promise you can keep.
Residency Tip 9: When you’re called for “agitation” overnight, check the bladder. A distended bladder in a delirious elderly patient is a common, fixable, and frequently missed cause of acute agitation
So You Chose EMS. The people who do medicine at 80 mph 🐬❤️

Residency Tip 8: Cover the shift so someone can go to the wedding. Life keeps happening during residency, and the people you help attend theirs never forget it.
Ortho consult to internal medicine: “Patient has organs. Please manage.”
Internal medicine: “Which one?”
Ortho: “Yes.”
Residency Tip 6: Tachycardia at 3am is not anxiety until you’ve ruled out PE, hemorrhage, tamponade, and sepsis. Anxiety is a diagnosis of exclusion
So you chose Anesthesia. The most important doctor you’ll never remember meeting. 🐬
Team anesthesia anyone ?
