If you're anything like me, you may have found yourself saying, "oh my god, I hate third year." you might have also done sdn searches looking for reassurance that others have felt the same way - I've literally type the phrase I hate third year and pushed search upwards of twenty times in this god forsaken year...
But then....
You start night float... All of a sudden you're doing 16 hour shifts but in reverse and what you thought was miserable becomes unbearable. I've thought countless times - why am I doing this, I hate becoming a doctor.
Then, at 5:50 am, 10 minutes before your scheduled to leave you hear over the intercom - "can we have the medical student to [L&D] room 1 for a delivery?"
An hour and a half later you've helped deliver a baby.. An hour and a half too late, sleep; but you dont care. it makes sense why you've started on this crazy career - you care about people. You've just assisted a mother bringing a child into the world. You watched her doubt herself, give up and eventually find the confidence to do something that looks impossible.
I am so glad I am becoming a doctor!!!!!! It is so worth it. (thought it would be nice for future searchers of doom and gloom to read something positive for once )
