Reliving a very stressful moment of my life
Today is Match Day. Except this time, I'm not a fourth year medical student, matching into a residency program. Looking back, this was an incredibly stressful time... probably the most life-defining moment that I've ever experienced. The second most life-defining moment being the time I found I had gotten into medical school in the first place. But I digress.
Here's my post from last year... It was brief because I was over-run with emotions but was in too much shock to really convey how I was feeling.
This morning, I went to Match Day to support my wonderful friend and it was as intense experiencing this from the other side as it was last year. I didn't want to be there because it brought back so many confusing memories but I wanted to be supportive so there was no other place I'd rather be.
I hope one day we get rid of the Match process. It's such a mind-game. and it's unnecessary torture.
On the upside of things, there are some great people staying on in our program so I'm pleased.
