Being Backstabbed by a co-resident?
I won’t go into details since I don’t want to dox myself.
A co-resident. Same year as me, who I thought was my friend and we were close, basically threw me under the bus. This person straight up lied and blamed me for a work incident (no direct patient involvement or harm) saying not only untrue things but doing some old fashion character assassination to our program director.
There was an investigation into what happened and it was discovered that this person lied and my name was cleared. I actually did not find out about any of it until after all of it happened, and this person came clean to me because they were worried I would find out through someone else. They didn’t apologize but framed it in the context of “for the sake of full disclosure” because apparently they really did think I had done whatever they claimed I did.
I understand people can be competitive but being sabotage by someone I thought was my close friend is not something I have ever encountered before. Any advice or words of encouragement are appreciated.
