Relax Goljan, headbutting the wall won't help you with anything. I still don't understand the exact nature of your situation, but that's fine.
You're right, in certain parts of the US and Western world, bad news...negative comments...are delivered with a subtley. It's a consistency I've noticed. In many parts of the world, when they reject you they will throw stones at you....over here it's different, they will throw flour at you. Get my drift...it's their mode of delivery you must learn to preceive it...otherwise the flour will blow over you. I'm sure you've noticed it with rejection letters from residency program...that subtle and indirect blow...
Anywayz...I'm rambling...if there is one lesson I've learned through medicine and the residency application process, that lesson is: IN THE FACE OF DEFEAT, KEEP ON MOVING......
