Camraderie withdrawal

Nick writes about this feeling we’ve all had as residents:

You’ve just spent pretty much every day of the month with a resident, maybe a co-intern and student as well — and every third or fourth night you’d serve together in an exhilarating, giddy, sleepless haze of admissions and cross-coverage. You share a lot of laughs, maybe shed some tears, learn a lot, and certainly freak out about the workload on a frequent basis. Then, the month ends and you may never see your teammates again — certainly, never in the same context.
