ITS GRADUATION DAY!!!

The Class of 2023 🍾🎓

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready… for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.

LAST DAY OF RESIDENCY!!!!

There’s a Starbucks at my new Publix

One more week until my first attending shift at a teaching hospital. What should I brush up on in the mean time?

The best compliment from my stellar nursing staff tonight on my single coverage shift is that they were all shocked that I was fresh out of residency and said I came off like a seasoned pro. Life after residency is the best!!

All bad shifts end

Don’t be the person that walks into their shift the minute it starts

I’ve been working 7 full weeks as an attending and I still have not received a paycheck. This is insane.

Working with residents in an academic setting as a brand new attending has been such a blessing. I love being able to share what I know and learn from them simultaneously. I love knowing that we’re all learning and becoming better physicians everyday. I love love love my job!

EM: partly saving lives, partly managing exacerbations of chronic conditions, partly providing suggestions for hobbies other than coming to the ER

My coworker offered to be my mentor 🥹 Life gets so much better after residency

Corrected my patient calling me “Miss” to Doctor earlier and got an attitude about it… You came to my job right??

4 AM on a FSED night shift is my scheduled “uncrustable time”

First time seeing a perilunate dislocation and I reduced it successfully!

Fall on blood thinners with obvious head trauma, normal mental status and vitals. What level trauma does your trauma center call this?

Never a good night when I have a cric kit at bedside for a horrible croup while I’m by myself at the FSED

Emergency Medicine means being fluent in every specialty’s language — enough to call for help, hand off safely, and advocate for patients.
