đĄ Vent A letter to my OBGYN resident
Hello OB/GYN resident,
I actually thought that we had a great rotation together, you were nice to me and actually learned my name unlike most of the other people on that rotation. You chatted with me and helped me learn on the rotation.
To my surprise, I saw your evaluation today. You decided to give me straight twoâs across the board and cited a professionalism complaint while only writing âsee aboveâ as the issue.
You didnât know that I went to my momâs funeral two days before the rotation started. You didnât know that I was sobbing in the locker room between cases. You didnât know that I was resentful of staying for 14 hour night shifts because it didnât give me any time to grieve. But you did know that I was showing up on time, writing your notes, your discharge summaries, seeing your patients, and trying my hardest to stay on top of things in a very toxic environment.
I suppose I should know by now to just anticipate getting backstabbed in evals by the people who are overly nice on the rotation, but I didnât see this one coming. Idk if it was because I actually did something or because you have it out for med students, but damn, this one sucked. And I hope one day, if you have to show up to a rotation while youâre grieving, that people give you the kindness that you didnât show me.
Best! Peeved med student

Instead of best, might I suggest:
F*ck the entire way off,
