Some of the most powerful advice I received from a #PedsICU mentor: “The grief is for you to witness but not to bear.” I think about this often. Some of the wisest advice is easier said than done. What are the sound bites that echo in your mind? #ICU #MedTwitter

If you’re interested in surgery, ask if you can accompany your patient to the OR if you’re on an off service rotation. I did this during peds & IM quite a few times to gain extra exposure. 1 /🧵 #MedTwitter #MedEd #MedStudentTwitter

Was just talking about how underrated women in medicine are. The effects of stress on pregnancy, advanced maternal age from training, time off from profession while maintaining skills, etc. Mad impressive 🙏 #MedTwitter

Ok honestly this still feels pretty scary. But I’ve had fellow physicians tell me that hearing me share my story has helped them seek help via therapy and medication. So I’ll keep sharing until there is no physician #MentalHealth crisis. #MedEd #WomenInMedicine #MedTwitter

Kerrigan Baird Lemoine, DO This is one of the best comments I’ve seen on any of my posts this month!! LOVE this!! Thank you for sharing

Dear Rising PGY1 (installment #3) ATTITUDE trumps aptitude. We can teach skills, we can't teach character Be hungry, be humble, prepare, put in effort, seek feedback, value everyone, be curious, be teachable, provide a service Develop your internal standard! #MedTwitter

At an academic conference this am, I poured coffee outside a meeting before I entered. I was informed that the coffee was only for attendees. I stated “I’m an attendee.” “No, I mean only the surgeons.” I’m wearing a conference badge and dressed professionally. #TheFaceOfCTSurgery

I am a HUGE advocate of never trusting a “no” when it comes to opportunities. Ask, challenge, ask again. Ask for help for anyone and everyone. You never know who can help you achieve your goal.

Starting the surgery portion of orientation this week and I am getting so excited! I know it will be overwhelming but I can’t wait to start learning!

We were supposed to close on and move into our house on Friday 6/30. Found out today we won’t be able to because the seller didn’t get all their paperwork in on time… Because of the holiday we now can’t close until July 5. And, I’m starting my intern year on Surg night float…

Starting in the 2024-2025 residency application cycle, OBGYN applicants will no longer be using ERAS to apply to residency and will instead be using a more efficient and less expensive application platform. #MedEd #residency #obgyn

Operating on my birthday! Sure it wasn’t a major surgery but any time we get to sneak into the OR on nights is a treat!

All the specialties saying I thought you were gonna do it when trying to coordinate any patient care with like 10 teams

Match week is here. Remember that your value does not come from where you match or even if you match. If you have to soap or go outside the match it is OK, you can still be an incredible physician and receive incredible training even if your path looks a little different

If anyone needs to talk or feels like they need direction during this stressful time please let me know, my DMs are open, or if you like this post I will reach out to you

If the SOAP isn’t going how you wanted and you are feeling downtrodden or crushed and you don’t know what to do YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I was in your exact same shoes only last year. There are options and opportunities. I’m happy to help anyone through this heartbreaking process

2 years ago… I promise, this is not the end
