Thread: Tell me about the good times (#residency)
1/Obviously, so many threads about the tough times in training. Neg experiences, disrespect, fatigue, depression. I began to wonder if I had imagined having a great residency experience. How could mine have been so different?

2/I wouldn't put it past me to have amnesia about the whole thing. So I texted some of my co-residents? Was I seeing things thru rose-colored goggles? Nope-they all said "Great time and Hard Work." Which is what I recall. With so many new interns preparing to start....
3/ Can you share with me some of the good times you remember? Because we surely don't want them all to start a new experience expecting doom and gloom. #MedTwitter #Twitternist #ProudToBeGIM #TipsForNewDocs

So before starting treatment...maybe should think about therapies....this was my 🐔 scratch DDx on back of article —> Think their stable and more Abx won’t help things I’m worried about acutely at this point 
Day 15/15 #PCPOnTheWards Two more admissions and I’m done! Going through my head:
❓1 week or 2 week stints next year?
❗️I’ve set the wheels in motion to go up for promotion!
📖Resident brought up desire for specific #EBM “rounds.” Brainstorming if after lunch best time?
