I’m always rather disheartened when I talk to people about the expectations placed on residents in the American medical system because a common response is to say that it doesn’t matter and they deserve it because they’re going to be doctors making a good salary soon enough. I’m in my second year of medical school now, so residency’s a little ways off, but I can’t help but think that people will think of me as spoiled and entitled for pushing back against the 80 hour work weeks that are normal in residency.
To be fair, it is a service/website that sows discord in American society.
I’m grateful that none of our cadavers were unclaimed remains. All of them had info sheets with demographics, profession, and a brief health history. Our school also holds a Donor Memorial ceremony every year, but I don’t know if that’s common or ubiquitous among medical schools.
