Title basically. I’m about midlife crisis age (lol) and I’ve been on computers and technology since I could walk. What is with all these doctors who are barely older than me who can barely use the Internet, don’t know how to type or what an adblocker is? I don’t feel like I can trust a doctor who is ok with malware coming in because they doesn’t run a free adblock or even DNS block. I mean wth?

    Its truly maddening. I live with someone doing a non-medical doctorate and I’m good friends with an M.D. student. The amount of time and focus required is astounding. I’m grateful that people take the effort and have the dedication, but, fuck, I need more free time in my life than what can be afforded to these people. Especially during the residency. They treat you so poorly in these programs, it would be called abuse in any other field.

      Maddening is right on. The fact the so much of the old guard has the “we suffered through it so now you should too” mindset as well. More than once during my brothers residency a senior doctor has attempted to throw him under the bus as well. Credit to them because it’s a solid “no thanks” from me.

        And a hell of a lot less sex with your colleagues and superiors than Grey’s Anatomy would have you believe!! Though watching that show after seeing people go through doctoral programs makes me feel it’s one massive ethics violation and every doctor in that hospital would be fired if they ever audited the place.
