    Oh so you’ve got a double dose of burnout, from overwork and trying to navigate the system. I’m sorry. What general region are you in? Wondering if we can somehow work together on getting universal passed?

      I’m a third year medical student in the Midwest. I’m aiming to do my residency in Minnesota, either Emergency Med or Family Med because apparently I like doing social work and hate my sanity or something.

        We’re not near, and you’re going to be quite overworked and under-rested, for quite some while. Trial by fire. Also plenty of data that can be used for arguing for a better system, should you decide to engage in moving that mountain, at some point. Wishing you all the best, and thanking you for taking valuable time to converse with me.

          It’s still good to know there’s other folks out there with a good head on their shoulders that are working towards a common goal. :)

            Yes it is. May I humbly recommend getting to know grant writers asap and well? Wishing you all the best in your endeavors; we need more medgremlins in our world.

              Once I’m in residency, I will become very well acquainted with grant writers and social workers.
