Let’s be real: Medical training and practice are like running a marathon with your shoes on the wrong foot—exhausting, confusing, and occasionally soul-testing. You want to stop and put the shoes on the correct foot- but stopping would mean admitting you put them on the wrong foot in the first place.
Your Survival Guide for When the Dementors Circulate
The week's blog is dedicated to medical students. Even if you are closer to retirement than medical school, give it a read. Here are a few things you will discover:
- Your secret superpowers: Spoiler: They’re already inside you (think persistence, empathy, or that uncanny ability to memorize Krebs cycle mnemonics).
- How to build a support squad: From learning specialists to mental health providers. Even Harry needed Ron and Herminoe to fight off the dementors.
- Self-care that actually works: Sleep > cramming. Yoga > existential dread. Meal prep >… Who am I kidding. I sill buy my lunch.
Whether you’re drowning in Step 1 prep, retracting for hours on your surgery rotation, planning for retirement or just side-eyeing February’s gloom, the blog was written with you in mind.
P.S. Non-students, don’t scroll past—dementors haunt attendings too.
