Hi! (Also from Philly)

Welcome!

In the meantime I just want to shout "Aren't you done YET?!?!"

:therethere:

I felt the same way when my DH decided to do a fellowship. But once you've come this far being supportive of their medical careers, you just have to go with it when they tell you they want to do a fellowship.

but you don't have to like it, I always say.

and being the uber (and how exactly do I make an umlat) buzz kill, all I can say about fellowship, the BEST thing I can say about fellowship, is that it's over.

Fellowship is the worst parts of intern year combined with the worst aspects of hospitalist combined with the worst aspects of academia. There is nothing good about it except that eventually it ends.

For us it was sort of like a 3 year long ice cream headache. Brutally intensive pain but you know it won't kill you but you momentarily wish it would.

and on that happy note-

Great... I thought we had the hardest part over with. I don't know how I'll be able to handle going through that year again, except with 3 or 4 kids by then, and still working full time. Holy moly!
