This article reminded me a good bit of some of my experiences in research biology in undergrad. Those negative experiences played a very important role in my attending medical school instead of graduate school in biology. I wanted no part of the academia that I was experiencing in my research. I also had some unpleasant experiences after I let my advisor know that I was attending medical school instead of grad school
I will not cross a line that I should not cross. If my third and fourth years (and residency) are filled with experiences like these, I may, too, be regarded as "unprofessional" in that I would not fit in with their expectations. Hopefully that is not the case!
I have yet to have any bad experiences here in Duluth.
What would M3s aM4s say about experiences like these being common on rotations in the cities?

It's great to hear you have not had any bad experiences in Duluth to date.
I guess my take on the misuse of the word "professionalism" to 'enforce' unprofessional behavior is the same as yours: its misuse of a word.
I think if you maintain your sense of self even when stressed with time demands and such - you'll be fine. I presume you will encounter 'legendary' people who you work under who are not the best examples of how to be. But - everybody knows their names, and groups that work with these people usually have a nice informal way of navigating both working with them (under them) and surviving intact. I think you will find your peer group to be very supportive in navigating staying within the line of true professionalism.
