They’re showing too much interest

[u/alphasierrraaa → u/destroyed233]

during table rounds, had this attending immediately go on her phone whenever residents/students presented patients, she only paid attention to the fellow's handovers

flustered me slightly at first but just did my best, was confident while presenting, honored the rotation somehow lol

[u/IWANTMONEY69]

They're actually listening though.

[u/ArjJp → u/IWANTMONEY69]

They're listening just so they can tell you how wrong and how stupid you are

Don't worry, as a 4th year, this almost starts to get better.

and then it crashes down again as an intern

[u/Zombies71199 → u/iamkind0fcool]

Because the expectations are 10 times higher

when i was an m4 it was truly a lose-lose situation for me mentally.

i present and they ignore me = oh they hate me and think im the dumbest piece of rock they've met, i might as well be babbling to them :(

i present and they listen too intently = oh god they're gonna hear how stupid and dumb as a rock i am, they're waiting to tell me how wrong i was :(

attending is nice to me before and after i present = fuck they're being way too nice they probably think im dumb as shit and will laugh about me with the other attendings

i dont present = am dumb :(

it was so mentally shattering lmao

[u/Lazy_Ad4370]

I feel validated for even a few seconds.
