Abstract
People think they know what resident doctors do.
They know the obvious parts: we examine patients, prescribe medications, and write notes. We diagnose infections, perform procedures, and coordinate care with nurses. We work long hours and rarely have days off. From the outside, it looks familiar enough to understand.
But there is a large portion of this job that is invisible, even to the people closest to us. It is difficult to explain, and harder still to feel understood unless you are living it.
