How to consult orthopedic surgery

You know what’s not enjoyable? When you start your shift in our Covid pod you go around asking all the (30-50 year old) patients how they feel about being intubated, should it come to that.

How do I maintain my wellness while in fellowship? By working ER shifts (especially with Eduardo Mejia, MD). Proud to work at @McGovernMedEM

It’s the Diet Coke for me

The emergency doctor goes to therapy

Me: ok now i will do your neurological exam. can u please tell me today’s date Patient: lol idk Me: *makes note on paper* Patient: what is today’s date tho Me: lol idk

Thank you to all the amazing, hard working residents at @McGovernMedEM for all that you do for our patients, our community, and challenging us to continue learning and be our best. #ThankAResidentDay

I used to drink tons of Diet Coke but it’s been one month since I’ve had a drop. I want to share some of the changes I’ve observed in myself over that time: - My health is unchanged - I’m less happy - My one source of joy is gone Thanks for encouraging me on this journey!
