The @ACOS_MSS mini conference that I’ve been planning for LECOM-B came to fruition today. Lots of fun skills labs to break up our exam studying. Thankful for great participants and surgeons/OMS3s

Preparing as best I can for starting residency in July (aka; endurance training so I don’t embarrass myself during anti-gravity rounds)

As someone who completed a 5 year surgical residency, normal people don’t quit when they’re 6 months from finishing unless there’s a major red flag. Additionally, people with those red flags shouldn’t be surgeon general.

I’m starting to realize I may not love sushi as much as I thought and that I really just need a reason to have spicy mayo

Btwn 1985 and 2015 a study (that controlled for experience, team performance, etc) showed white coaches were ~ 2X as likely to be promoted than underrepresented coaches. Still, some teams treat the #RooneyRule as a checkbox and some fans disapprove of this measure of equity.

Sharing my appreciation for @AmericanAir employee “Aung” at ORD who worked so hard to find my lost luggage after my delayed flight that left me stranded in Chicago. Amazing human and I hope this reaches him 🙏

Had an emergency procedure tonight. Not my best work but we got it done 😌

I knew there was a good reason for hoarding my posters all these years

Does anyone else feel their phantom scrub cap after a long day in the OR? #MedTwitter #surgery

The feeling of being horizontal after a long day >>>>

Once I… …finish med school …complete residency …become an attending …get that first paycheck after training …become partner THAT is when I’ll happy But then you aren’t. It’s called an Arrival Fallacy, and it impacts most physicians. It’s the idea that “once I get there or once I arrive THAT is when I’ll be happy.” But as Gertrude Stein said, “There is no ‘there, there.” So what’s the secret??? It turns out you have to learn how to practice focusing on the journey and not the destination. Design a life you enjoy in the day to day. Not just through the “Once I” syndrome most of us suffer with. Life does get better after training. But then you adapt. And for many the happiness is not what you expected. The light at the end of the tunnel wasn’t as bright as you thought it would be. Enjoy the process. Not just the product. If you aren’t, it may be time to ask tough questions. You have one life to live. Don’t waste it.

Leaving for 6 months of audition rotations. Genuinely curious how people leave their dogs this long I’m gonna miss this lady!!

I absolutely adore everyone who ever taught me anything

I don’t think kind preceptors know how much we appreciate them
