Dear surgery residents,

I get it. I was young and knew everything once too. From someone who has been deeply and profoundly humbled by the gods of medicine and surgery and trauma (sometimes all at once) please, humble yourselves. Or the gods will do it for you.

Please. Tone
it down. By like 4-5 notches.

We are a team caring for patients. You are only bringing suffering on yourself and the rest of us with that attitude.

Please take a breath and look at the big picture.

Signed,

Your future self
PS. Please imagine this being said with love and respect. Because that is where it comes from. I am not attacking you. I am you. And I’m trying to help you help yourself.
