As callous as this seems, as a doctor, its staggering to see exactly how stupid the general population is and how insanely intelligent some of my colleagues are. I think Im probably top 3 in terms of medical knowledge and and self study as far as residents in my program, but I can be a little lazy and it pushes me so far back behind those with excellent drives and average intelligent for a resident/physician Yeah that's basically how I am. I knew in college I had more innate gifted intelligence than most but I was a lazy sack of shit that partied too much so I only graduated with a B+ average. When I pushed myself I was one of the best, but I never had the attention span to do that at all times. I think I have ADD and/or some sort of mental/social disability. I think it just takes a special kind of person to be that driven. I was a very driven, extra mile worker but after the beat down my attendings started dealing out on a daily basis, and after being reminded of all of the extra expectations on top of getting through a day at workneed to show a study plan with an improvement course and to stick to it, an administrative plan, a constant update on my research which they want to be as complex as possibleI just recently said fuck it, I just need to get through and join a private group afterwards. Its incredibly liberating, but a little disheartening knowing that Im not viewed as the best and wont be a subspecialty candidate. --- https://imgur.com/SGkkbF0 <cite>MrPeppers posted [p:925404935] in I think I ...
