Me: I’m so stressed. I have a few days to make this presentation for SAGES Is In Cleveland 2024! and I need to pack.

Also me: I have time for a pedicure

great weekend showing Sarah Christensen Fu the wonders of Bmore. We toured The Poe House, walked around Patterson Park, & had lunch in fells point (orange crushes & crab cakes 🦀 , of course). Most importantly I got to catch up with someone who has known me for over 30 years. 😊 #cupfilled

I had a late operative day and my husband handled bath time of the 3 year old. This text made my entire day.

Toe vs bedpost. See it?

A case control was not really needed to understand the outcome of this match, but I always go above and beyond.

Ortho said stay off of it. 😂

Got off console at end of case to find my amazing robotic assist PA was doing some teaching of his own to the medical student & surgery PA resident. Proud to have taught him & then to see him passing that knowledge on to others. Academic medicine at its best!

For those of you caring for young children I’m gonna share a tip. If your child suddenly wakes up & is uncharacteristically whining/whimpering &won’t use their words to tell you the problem -
Do not wait
Do not ask the child to use words
Just get them in front of a toilet. 🫤🤮

Da Vinci 5 delivered to HTP front door. First cases tomorrow. ⁦Hackensack Meridian⁩ ⁦HackensackUMC Department of Urology⁩ leading the way! This will change the way we do surgery in many ways. One I am excited for is the way we teach surgery - case insights. ⁦⁦Intuitive⁩

So exciting!

Such a great symposium. My 3rd year participating and attending now. Since the first one, I mark my calendar for the next year! What an invigorating way to support each other and the next generation of female surgeons. #WIS2024

Yes I’m pointing at you if you have breasts. Schedule your mammogram. I just got mine done today.
Fun? No.
Horrible? No.
Important? Absolutely.
Please make time to look after your health. We see and hear so many sad stories in medicine. Don’t become one
