Don’t forget to eat/sleep/exercise regularly – Create a schedule that works for you
It is okay to feel incompetent during the first few months, take a break, and reflect on how you can do better. You can always talk to your PD, co-residents, chief resident, etc. Never blame/pity/give up on yourself!
Do not let anybody make you feel less or inferior. There will be frustrated attendings, specialists, senior residents, etc. Carry on and tomorrow is a better day
Always connect with the ones you love, your family and friends
Learn something new every day. “The day you stop learning is the day you stop growing”
Enjoy every day, the good and the bad. Even on the worst days, I am living the dream =)
