Who Reads My Blog?

I've always thought this blog was primarily read by my sister, since I don't publicise its existence too much. A few friends know of it, as well as my immediate family, but otherwise I figured it sat in blissful peace in a hidden corner of the Internet.

Anyway. I was rather startled to discover that the keywords associated with my blog are (in order):

"i hate residency"

"hate residency"

"hating residency"

"hate residency" surgery

"i hate being on call"

"i fucking hate residency"

and - most oddly

"newfie has hard time pissing"

This speaks to the toll residency takes on us... I wrote that post in March 2009 and it remains the most-read post of this blog.

I am so grateful that I am no longer a resident...

To all my fellow-residents who stumble across this blog, try to take some comfort in knowing you will also someday finish the retarded shit-filled journey of residency and come out the other side. Don't ever forget what it was like, and try your very best not to perpetuate the cycle by torturing your own residents as an attending.
