A little positivity for the feed! I complain a lot on Shirlywhirl because it doubles as an outlet for me, but I don’t think I could do anything other than this. For one, I’m motivated by being needed, and I likely wouldn’t feel needed without the high stakes in medicine. For another, even though I complain about actually talking to patients, my relationships with them / duty to their care is what makes me feel fulfilled. I try to remind myself of this after tough 28 hour calls.
