Did what the title says and oh my goodness. Since starting a month or two ago, I have had total anhedonia. I don't care about anything. I can't make myself study, or do much of anything else. I have less than a week before my exam and I scored a 53% on the free 120 last weekend. If I don't take this test before July 9, I'll be forced to take a leave of absence. If I fail this attempt, then I'll be forced to take a leave of absence. Feeling very down and kinda losing my mind about it rn.

Obvi in conversations with the PCP about this and adjusting, but like. What's done is done and I can't turn back time. I can't believe that I'm in this position right now.

Idek what to do, or if I can pull this off.

People that managed a pass with only a few days for drastic improvement, what should my hail mary be rn? Delay is not an option according to admin lmao

I used to live in the Valley doing seasonal work a while back, but had to leave for medical school. I am currently in the thick of it with exams and want to see if there's a light at the end of the tunnel here; what is it like being a physician in Eagle County? How's the job market for say, anesthesia or interventional pain management? General surgery? How realistic is coming back permanently and potentially raising a family? I am not inheriting any housing in the area and I am DEFINITELY familiar with how hard it is to find it, but beyond the obvious, I want to know if there are any people in healthcare who can speak to this.

Yeah I can google some of this, but firsthand knowledge is always so much better when it comes to healthcare work. Like, yes there's medical care in the area, but can early career physicians move out, or is it mostly just mid to late career, etc. I'd love to hear any thoughts.

Edit: specifically referring to work environments and job market.
