What medicine has done to Graham

July 23, 2006

He’s finished a year of clinical training:

Medicine has made me into a shitty person. Or, maybe more appropriately, the shitty-person side of me was always there, but the stress of medicine brought him out. Many of the problems, I believe, stem from behaviors in medicine that I can’t shake from my person when I’m not in my medical role.

If I was this guy’s attending I would have a few choice words for him.

The guy is 3rd year medical student. Surely he is not expected to be a competent doctor at that time?
