You gave up 10 years but you get a lifetime to make those memories comfortably.

I’ll tell you something I learned and wanted to share. Every high-level career costs something. Medicine is no different. A missed birthday isn’t a tragedy if you show up fully the next day, the next week, the next moment. Life is bigger than a calendar…mindset decides whether this career breaks you or builds you.

I did MD PhD so I’ve lost my 20s and I’ll lose my 30s 💀

it is our privilege to trade a decade of our lives for the skills to save the entire lifetimes of others. it is our responsibility to look after ourselves even more- no unmaintained tool works well.

whether you take the MD path or not. You will lose all that is said. I started MedSchool at 33 and won't be done training until my 40s and all I could think about is how I would not be capable to support my immigrant parents when they retire.

Yep, just turned 32 and feel this. I definitely had a grieving period for all the time lost.

it’s okay to feel that way and grieve the sacrifices you had to make, that’s not an easy thing to do. buuuut i hope you can try to make the best of it. i promise im trying not to sound minimizing here (so im sorry if it’s coming off that way!) but i really do hope it gets better and you have a way better birthday than you’re anticipating. happy early birthday stranger, and im proud of all you’ve accomplished :)

Think of all the additional birthdays you’ve given to people who thought they wouldn’t celebrate another. That my friend is worth more than 1000 birthdays!

All the more reason to make every birthday from now on more special 🤷 There is no objective truth to life. Life is what you make of it bro

Doc-you haven’t lost time. You just gave those years to your patients by elongating their lives. An amazing trade off! Happy Birthday!🎂🎉

I am a 2nd year med student at 32. I wish I’d been able to do med straight out of school. Instead I was dealing with severe mental illness in and out of hospital, not well enough to earn anything, taking years to get the right cocktail of meds right to reach stability. That is actually losing your 20s. I am so jealous of the ppl in my med school who have had that dream smooth pathway where they get straight in out of high school.

Why this mentality mate? U gain knowledge that people of the past only dream off. U gain access to things only the most fortunate people can.
