I just logged in to my student loan servicer for the first time in a hot minute and oof. I currently owe the US government $342,984.22 FOR WHAT IS NOW INSIDE MY BRAIN. Happy to report that it continues to feel like Monopoly money, but what a weird concept.

Provider: “We’re going to try and discharge you today if X, Y, and Z” Non-English speaking patient: “No English” Provider: “Well, I only speak English! So, as I was saying…” Just…WHAT?! #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter

Just when you thought this field couldn’t get any better, you get to interview a pt with lymphedema and learn more about therapy options, intermittent pneumatic compression, etc #PMR really does have it all ❤️ #completelybiasedopinion

Physician girl math is having the same education and training, better outcomes, fewer complications, more satisfied patients, but still being paid less than men in medicine.

Here’s to building on the foundation set by the 6% of Latino (2.4% Latina) doctors who paved the way, because diversity in healthcare matters 💪🏽 Proud of my heritage and how it’s shaped who I am today 🇵🇷 #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay #LatinoPhysiciansDay #FirstGen

Being in medicine and caring deeply about justice for patients, for trainees, for other healthcare professionals, everybody in general, has got to be *actively* shaving years off my lifespan

Today we saw a patient, who had been angrily venting dissatisfaction with the team, suddenly burst into tears as he opened up about frustrations due to his spinal cord injury. Reminded of how important it is to truly listen to a patient’s story ❤️ #physiatry #rehab

Me thinking about how middlemen in healthcare make billions profiting off of patients…meanwhile hardworking mom of two sweet kids is in tears in front of me sitting in an ER hallway bed because she couldn’t come up with the $800 UPFRONT that a specialist clinic required before

And it’s a wrap for Mayo Clinic PMR away rotation 🫶 Four weeks packed with nonstop learning. Loved every second. (Not being 100% lost with the ultrasound is another level of excitement 😂)

Being the first doctor in your family is exciting until you find out all the things you didn't know about med school, like OSCEs, shelf exams, away rotations and not being guaranteed to match into your chosen specialty or even match at all & don't even get me started on residency

Interview season tension can really cloud the most important aspects of this period. We’re just months away from realizing our dream of becoming doctors. The wait has been long, but now it’s finally here. What a blessing ❤️ #match2024

“Patient is a poor historian” 🙄🙄🙄 IT IS NOT THE PATIENT’S JOB TO BE A TALENTED HISTORIAN. It is your (our) job to be a talented history taker. Whether that means coaxing out details, teasing out sensitive facts, explicitly asking relevant points, collecting collateral

Throw back to my (masked) white coat ceremony - starting med school in a pandemic was wild, but look at me now! Beyond excited to announce I matched into Otolaryngology at GW OTOHNS! #OtoMatch #Match2024 #FutureENT #LatinoAndProud #TBT
