Me walking into the ED to staff consults as the PICU fellow.

Me hearing people say patients aren’t coming to the ED for low acuity complaints anymore.

When playing PEM topics Taboo, having Tim Horeczko Tim Horeczko 🇺🇦 💪 🇺🇸 on your team is a big advantage!

Me: Why do boats needs special words for left and right? In medicine we still use left and right regardless of where the patient is. Husband: I don’t think a field that has to say “erythematous” or “cyanotic” instead of “blue” or “red” has the high ground here.

Gotta love hospital credentialing. In what other job do you get handed five or more 100+ page, technical PDFs and are told to sign off that you were given them and are responsible for them?

Too real

can everybody put on their masks I’m trying to go to haunted houses in two months

Pandemic goal:

Could we pretty please get a finger stick pregnancy test approved by the FDA? #cantpee

For the first time since the pandemic stated, a patient said I was too young to be a doctor and I ☺️. As I was reflecting on how my self care must be working, I noticed his visual acuity was 20/100 and he didn’t have his glasses 😔. I’ll take the compliment.

My resolution to the beginning of 2022.

Dinner party guest: So you're a doctor uh? Me: I am Guest: ok tell me the worst thing you've ever seen at work *Five minutes later* Me:.... and so yeah, that wasn't a great Christmas really. *Room silent, sounds of sobbing quietly reverberating* Me: Oh you mean a butt story

Lesson learned to use headphones while listening to Granny streaming videos on overnight shifts in the hospital. Multiple people poked their head in looking for a screaming elderly woman. Thanks for keeping me entertained, Gran!

Pondering whether I would work for Amazon’s first Emergency Department whenever that happens. Might come with a free Prime account…

The ultimate gay moment for Wicked Part 2 would be a reprise of "I'm Not that Girl" sung by Fiyero when the ladies fall in love. Heres to hoping that's one of the new songs! #WickedMovie
