Why I want to quit residency

I am so sorry. You are allowed to leave. I’m not saying it’s the most sound choice at this point per se nor am I encouraging you to do it, but I’m just a voice in the ether saying that even if you feel like you don’t have a choice, you absolutely do. You are a very hardworking and resourceful person and you will figure everything out if you choose to leave!

You have also worked very hard to get here, and you are closer than you have ever been to the finish line and then you really are free and you get to call the shots with what kind of job you want. You will get autonomy and sleep and more free time and sun and happiness. You can have it if you stay, and you can have it if you leave. But don’t discount how hard you’ve worked and how far you’ve come.

I hope that knowing that you have a choice in the end gives you a bit of hope.
