Ok I’ve woken up and can write a better caption but……. if you’re an attending and you follow me, ima let you know now that PGY3 Shirlene won’t play. That 28 Hour mark? I turn into a pissed off pumpkin. I’m walking out. I’m telling you straight up I don’t care about that paper you coauthored in 2006. You try to pimp me about minutiae, Ima pull out a RCT on Why Humans Need Sleep. You got an anecdote about your glory days, ima let you know those days are past. I just spent the night going through hell. my brain cells are undergoing anaerobic metabolism. You know this, so why are we extending my misery for no reason? Why we gotta walk round when my legs barely work? On a serious note- we are taught to have a lot of empathy for patients, so to my attendings on this page - show some mercy on your residents. They are not retaining anything post call or post night shift, and you know that bc you didn’t either. Please let us sleep. #comic #webcomic #coronavirus #ppe #resident #intern #inpatient #doctor #relatable #womeninmedicine #blackdoctors #graphicmedicine #premed #premedmotivation #residency #internalmedicine #medschool #medicine #medicalschool #medlife #md #medstudent #nurse #physician
