I'm going to assume you're not talking about the cafeteria food.

Good call. That stuff is just as bad as I thought. Maybe worse.

So what's not so bad?

Residency. I mean, it's not easy but it isn't terrible.

And you were going into medicine hoping for a life of torture?

Not at all. I was just expecting residency to be hellish.

You're in the honeymoon period.

Don't tell me that, Dr. Chase. I think I'm enjoying my delusions.

It's fair warning. You've got the smooth now, it's a given there's some rough around the corner. Better to be ready for it.

It'll be worth it. I've spent too much time and money on this to dislike it.

As long as you've got your reasons, I don't doubt you'll get through it. And they days you do need to vent...

I think they have helplines for that.

My parents will listen to me rant as long as it's past nine am and not after ten pm.

How are you?

Only eleven hours? You'll barely get started.

I'm good. Business as usual.

You're right. I'll need that hotline number, after all.

Yeah? And what's "business as usual" count for?
