这一天 对你是否有特别的意义?
你会怎样渡过?
在最后的那一分钟,你会想着什么?
你会想起谁?
在2011年的第一分钟,你是否许愿?
你有想拥有什么吗?

还是你会平静的渡过,默默地等待新的开始。
新年快乐!

Medical school is hard. We have worked endlessly to get here and we work even more just to stay here. The list of reasons why it is so challenging is long. We stress about the current work load in the classroom or clinic, the future residency or career we have not yet obtained, and our past experiences or grades that may keep us from meeting these goals.
As if that is not enough, we have relationships to feed, family to nurture, and service or occupational responsibilities to fulfill. Mix it all together with little sleep, high expectations and the occasional public mistake and you have the perfect recipe for burnout or depression. The study authors state, "Medical students experience depression, burnout, and mental illness at a higher rate than the general population, with mental health deteriorating over the course of medical training."
Medical students are stubborn. We want to put forth the image that we can hold up the world even when everything inside is falling apart. Worry that peers, residencies or future employers will view oneself as inadequate if depressed simply compounds the problem. Rather than seek needed assistance, students will flounder alone to avoid stigmatization.
