Ugh. So the bad news is that I got nothing. Really bad news.
But the good news. (I know, how can there be good news....)
Is that I had put Cardiac Surgery as my first choice, and my second choice was Internal medicine at Universite de Montreal.
But I REALLY didn`t want to be internal medicine. And if I got internal medicine, it`s a binding contract.
But in the second round (places that weren`t able to get anyone), Cardiac Surgery at Mcgill is open (a far superior program then Montreal...I didn`t apply because I didn`t think I had a chance in hell of being accepted) and lots of other programs too.
So I`m trying to look at the bright side. I`m a bit sad that everyone knows where they are going, and I don`t but on the flip side, had I been accepted into Internal medicine, and cardiac surgery at Mcgill was left unfilled, I would have felt horrible. So we`ll see. Another few months of hell to go.
so sorry for the news...BUT things can change. My brother in law wanted Neurosurgery but didn't get it...all he got was general surgery. With much reluctance and complaining he took the general surgery spot at a great hospital in NYC. Well he made some serious connections and made a name for himself during the first yr that the head of the neurosugery dept told him he should try again..well he did and for his 2nd yr of residency he changed to Neurosurgery. He had to start all over again (like a yr wasted ) but the 8 yrs went fast and he's doing what he loves. GL and I hope that the cardian surgery spot opens up!
