If you think purposefully adding psychological stress to already rigorous medical training your privilege is showing your whole ass and just how out of touch you are.
People are carrying so much in their personal lives and to add additional stress to “make them tougher” is not only asinine but deadly. We’re doctors, not robots. The fact we are juggling our personal lives and still caring for others is enough stress.
If you feel otherwise then either you are incredibly blessed to not have to carry much else or you lack such insight you don’t realize exactly how toxic you are.
And I haven’t even mentioned the elephant in the room of being anything other than a cis-hetero-white male.

If you are any level of other you are so busy trying to be the first/only/one of few that you don’t have the luxury of just training so that extra “stress” people want to add is already present. And then you want to add more?
All I’m hearing is that you want to continue to make medicine an exclusively white male profession full of emotionally stunted robots. No disrespect to the older generations of medicine but that model is archaic.
That in no way benefits our patients.
