I can't believe I can finally post! After blindly searching the internet for help on Tuesday, I came across this site (which is a Godsend!!!). But because of technically difficulties I couldn't get back on until today. I thought, just when I've found the answer to my prayers it, too, has been taken away. But, alas, I am here!!! 
Let me explain a little bit...my husband of 2 1/2 years just started his 3rd year of med school on Tuesday. We both knew that he would eventually be at this stage, but neither one of us predicted just how challenging it was going to be. I don't know how other clinicals work, but he is starting with Internal Medicine (one of the worst according to some 4th years he has talked to). They are required to be on-call every 4 days...and by the luck (or bad luck I should say) of the draw he was on call the first day. So, here we are, coming off a glorious 4-day weekend of no studying (he had just taken his USMLE Step 1 on 6/30) and BAMMM!! He's working 6am to 8pm. It came as quite a shock, so, like I said, I sought out support from others in my situation, and boy am I glad I'm here.
So far, though, I have been reading some of the resident's wives posts and am absolutely terrified of the road ahead. And I thought this year was going to be awful!
Anywho...just wanted to post a hello to all, and would love some words of encouragement (or fellow complainers) from those going through the 3rd year blues.
