My baby sister is defending her masters OCAD University this morning. Her thesis defence may be "virtual", but her accomplishments are not. I am so proud of all that she is and all that she's accomplished. Please send good vibes 😊

Passed without revisions 🎉🎉 I always knew my sister was a master of design, but now she has MDes behind her name so you all know it too.

What notebook makes for the best OR case log book and why is it a mini moleskine? Starting a new one for the last time for the last 2 months of residency ☺️

And this is why my personal policy is to announce my arrival and explain what I'm doing to all ICU patients with a pulse. . . and sometimes even if they no longer have a pulse.

“Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change [outdated, expensive, and superfluous roadblocks to licensing]”. Advocacy works. 👏🏼

The 3 weeks of “You’re essentially a board certified surgeon, call me if you need me” I get to enjoy now is such a dream set-up. 😍 Ultimate independence with the quickest and most easily accessible support.

I'm thankful for a lot of things and the fact that my parents kept this card safe until I was old enough to scan it is one of them. Almost 31 and just sent a copy in today as proof so I can start fellowship!

Ditto tu vs. vous for me. When I learned French in elementary school, everyone was older than me, so “vous” became the default. Fluent French-speaking friends, is “vous” too stuffy and formal for pt care? 🤷🏻‍♀️

#packingchronicles Non-medical fiancé said to throw out these perfectly good pens. I will be bringing them to the hospital because that would be a crime against health care.

#packingchronicles Are my cord management skills ready for ICU fellowship yet?

Very happy to say that my entire immediate family is now fully vaccinated, after some late night fact clarification on the family group chat last night on vaccine mixing.
