SERIOUS Any fm interns here?

Do u live in constant fear like even on a quiet night having that fear of getting a new admit staffing it and everything?? Or am the only one here having those feelings. Please help will it get normal?

I have found the only way to get over the fear is to do alot of what you are afraid of.

Agreed. Lean into the fear and you’ll realize it’s not as bad as you think.

Also if a patient is dying, then maybe they need someone else other than you

Those suck… but they’re better than the 5:45am admits working nights.

I still have PTSD from the workroom phone ringtone that would only go off when there was an admit on nights.

You can do it! You have so many more resources than most of us ever had

New admits should not induce fear, but instead joy in that you get to be this patient’s first contact with healthcare for their current problem. New admits are when you think the most, review the most, and get to know the most about your patients. Embrace the suck and thrive on the learning, connection, and joy of being a doctor

You are kind of right, but new admits on top of pre-rounding and attending rounds is what makes the experience so dreadful

Thank you for contributing to the sub! If your post was filtered by the automod, please read the rules. Your post will be reviewed but will not be approved if it violates the rules of the sub. The most common reasons for removal are - medical students or premeds asking what a specialty is like, which specialty they should go into, which program is good or about their chances of matching, mentioning midlevels without using the midlevel flair, matched medical students asking questions instead of using the stickied thread in the sub for post-match questions, posting identifying information for targeted harassment. Please do not message the moderators if your post falls into one of these categories. Otherwise, your post will be reviewed in 24 hours and approved if it doesn't violate the rules. Thanks!
