no more food analogies in medicine! 🥴😂

UPDATE: There is currently a national blood shortage. Homophobic policies like this holding up the number of lives that could be saved right now.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth - initially established as Negro History Week in 1926 by American Historian and Educator Carter G. Woodson. It was created to extend and deepen the study and scholarship on African American history & first recognized in 1976 by President Gerald Ford✊🏾

Oof. I'll never forget as a 3rd yr med student watching an attending (female) roll their eyes and say "you should plan better" to the resident who was a few minutes behind OR turnover because she was pumping.

Before leaving for home this evening I went to the ER to see a patient who means a lot to me. He’ll spend the night there because the hospital has no beds. He’ll be alone because we’re still not allowing visitors. If you feel like you’re “done” with the pandemic think about him.

After 4-5 weeks of step studying at a computer, I SO miss learning in the hospital and seeing patients!! I guess that natural feeling will make all these practice questions worth the misery?

Derm is likely not my speciality but this is me in the sun 😂 I lovingly blame/credit my mother who would coat us in sunscreen when we were children and you will never find her without a hat on in the sun.

Love these!

When your beer reminds you of a sketchy pharm video maybe it’s time to stop for the day 😂

👀 it’s called stress cleaning in my house

A cardinal rule of responsibility is to shield others from the suffering you endured. Good parents refuse to dump their childhood baggage on their kids. Good leaders and coaches refuse to perpetuate abusive patterns. You can choose to do right in the ways you've been wronged.

Does anyone else's brain think in milestones about a patient? Like I think wow I am so sad today it's been one week since that family lost their loved one this had to be hard week and day or wow those babies I helped/saw deliver are almost 1 year old now.

What a great group of influential, high-value care students and clinicians 🤩 So proud to be a part of it all High Value Alliance Chris Moriates, MD Chris Petrilli, MD, SFHM

In San Antonio for SABCS. These last six months working in breast cancer research have been all the better having a close research colleague like Harriet and having an incredible research mentor, Dr Mukhtar. Excited for what’s next.

Classmates of UCSF School of Medicine 2023, congratulations today & the world's lucky to have each of you as providers in your respective field. A privilege to start med school with you & I look forward to the same process applying to residency after returning from my research fellowship🥳
