The difference in number of openings 2019 to 2020 has been crazy.

Huh? Who leave?

No spots. This sucks.

The feeling of a let go mid-level resident: shame. Countless hours of hard effort studying and work and call, gone to waste. Colleagues and friends ask "how is neurosurgery going". It's a shame to answer. People say "how out of all people you can be let go, you're so nice and dedicated..etc etc". No job, losing money being hundreds of thousands in debt. Tried this and other specialities no one is hiring. Not really passionate for other specialities, would painfully do it just to make a living and pay back debt. Depression is building. Bad thoughts build in the head. It affects you mentally, physically, socially, monetarily. It's a huge deal.

What do people do to survive? I can easily see if no job continues, to have no place to live and no money. Homeless. Went from being on top of the world as a neurosurgery resident to homeless. What a shame.

Not surprising. Different program with Lawton and without Nakaji, more focused on research as can be seen from recent resident classes. Different atmosphere without Nakaji and Spetzler.
