Myself and several friends are on our first aways. The majority feel awkward, don't feel like we know enough, can't read the vibe from residents.

I can't speak to the others. Personally, I try my best, offer to write notes, stay late. But at the same time, there has been times I felt a question/comment didn't land or when I called in because I got sick.

Any post-match surgical students that can attest to this? I don't think there is anything else we can offer than be enthusiastic and ask clinically relevant questions during rounds.

Everyday I get up and can't find a clean pair of scrubs.

Didn't I do laundry a few days ago? Who knows.

Could I rewear yesterday's scrubs? No, because I sweat like a hog and don't want to be known as Lord Stinkums.

Buy more scrubs? Somehow the universe has engulfed the old pairs because I am still only able to find the same 3 sets.

Wear professional clothes? Too bad, fat boy. The button popped on your fancy pants. 🤡
