This is minutes away from the house where I grew up. Fairfax was never exactly an epicenter of progressiveness, but it was also never a place where things like this happened. Our country is heading in a terrifying direction. #resist

Was in pre-op for an emergent take back over the weekend. My chief arrived & in the middle of her asking me (the intern) to put in orders for the case, the male anesthesia resident asked if she was the pre-op nurse. She cordially explained she was the chief surgical resident 1/10

Good morning! When I opened my eyes, I thought it was Saturday. It is not in fact Saturday. But. ...almost. Let's get there safely. Stay alert, focused, work together. The weekend is almost here.

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.
