When you shuffle paperwork back and forth between various departments, various floors and various blocks.
When 7 different people express "displeasure" towards you for no reason of yours.
When at the end of the day, you wonder what you learned and realized it's a big fat nothing.
When you want to be a student again.
When you work SUNDAYS! (This is the worst one for me!)
When residents become sadists and make you stay back just because they haven't finished their work.
When you become the scapegoat for everything.
When you're the bottom of the food chain ergo everyone wants you to get something done for them.
When you find yourself drawing blood more times than you can count.
When you've spent the whole day running around.
When you feel the need for sneakers or when you've got blisters.
When you're craving sleep.
When you get screwed over for applying for sanctioned holidays. Yeah, they expect you to work even the days that are supposed to be off. And they make you feel like an idiot for wanting some time off.
When you're hungry for food.
When you just want to put your feet up and sleep.
I'm sure there's more... I'll add to this list when I think of it.

Alujna,
Sorry you're having a tough time with your internship.
I hope it gets better soon.

K,
Not all residents are like that. Just one or two. And I'm not at the sleep depriving rotations yet.
Joss,
It's okay. It's more tiring than tough.
I expect it will be better this week, now that I've settled down.
Hugs,
Alujna
