Residency

Medical graduate education where sleep-deprived residents (MD/DO) are underpaid and work 100 hours a week to become good physicians. Not to be confused with the 500 hours total required to become a nurse practitioner.
NP: "When I was in residency..."
MD/DO: "You keep using that word, I don't think you know what it means"

Residency-Induced Tourette (RIT) syndrome

an emotional, developmental, and neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary expletives, criticisms occurring during residency training.

Often associated with mood swings, aggressiveness, hormone imbalance.

Exacerbated by junior residents, ED residents, and females- in general.

Instant triggers include critical lab value pages, opposition, going to the OR, sobriety, macro-nutrient imbalance.
ED Resident 1: The only resident listed on hand call is Lindsay Allred. I'd rather just replant the hand myself then call her...
ED Resident 2: Dude, I heard she was diagnosed with Residency-Induced Tourette (RIT) syndrome.
ED Resident 1: It all makes sense! Well if the replant doesn't work, I'll still have the same success rate as Ryan Rebowe.

Critical lab value page: Patient calcium 8.4 mg/dL
Lindsay: *RIT EXPLOSION* $@%*! #$%!@+

Glasshouse Residency

A situation in which a person finds themselves, either by incompetence or inaction, with no moral or legal authority to impose deadlines on others.
I am expecting feedback via email and at the upcoming Board meeting, but given my glasshouse residency, I’m in no position to put timescales on anyone for feedback.

TRGH Residency

A TRGH department where a bunch of teens go to learn medical things for an hour every day and lots of love is spread.
Any MD+ in Residency: I love TRGH Residency!

Anyone not in residency: Why can't I be in Residency? What *is* residency? Can I join Residency? How to join Residency?
