I think it's funny how just a couple of things can change your whole perception of someone. For example...a new professor who comes off as just the sweetest thing nicks the renal vein, the splenic vein and the inferior mesenteric vein all in one go, then goes and steals all of a resident's research from the VA - locking him out of his own data, then lures me with promises of research and assigns me to install/fix softwares problems on her POS computer. There is also a professor who seemed like mentor material, but just turned out to have a glossy exterior with motives you couldn't trust. There is a lot of drama going on in town and I see badness in the program for the new few years. Anyhow, I refuse to be deterred. Gonna trek on with my urology application.
It's funny when you're on the inside. I remember seeing all of the surgery people and thinking that they were cocky bastards who treated everyone like crap. Sitting in with them, I see them as regular people who are nice, but need to get through the day. I've gone through my fair share of getting yelled at this week, but overall I think that I'm good to go.
Surprisingly, the best moments in my day are running into classmates in the hallways who I never talked to before, but share a bond with now that we're getting our getting our asses beat down on a daily basis. And how...

My ass got beat down in Radiology today. Whoa... you'd think they'd be nicer with good hours and high salaries. Not the case. Sorry you're getting jerked around. My impression was that there were 2 docs who might make decent mentors in that department.
