As someone who trained from 86–93 in an East Coast highly competitive general surgery/plastic surgery program all of these “things to buy“ seem like incredible luxuries for our 120 hour work weeks. It was calculated in our program that doctors made $.53 an hour during intern year. I remember interviewing at Duke and was told that the divorce rate was almost 100%. Be thankful that the programs have changed their design. The only thing on our wish list was sleep. Meal service? We were never home.

I was gonna say therapy (as a PGY-29). It may be lifesaving for *you*. This job is hard, regardless of specialty.
