When your senior/fellow/attending talks about how they worked 100 hours a week and got screamed at constantly by toxic attendings, so residency nowadays with weekly limits of 80 hours (?!?) is easy and your generation doesn’t care about their patients because they sometimes have days off
“I was miserable so you should be too” is basically what you’re saying. You might have bought into the toxic surgery culture enough to work yourself into the ground, but I would like to respectfully decline that path. After residency you’ll find me in a community surgery practice getting 8 hours of sleep and actually having time to see my family and friends - academic medicine can fuck off 😂
