YOUR NEXT CHIEF RESIDENT!!! 🫡🪖👏🏽

Yall still on here?

I have to unpack as soon as I move!!!

The way you choose to end a relationship with someone says so much about your character

today someone in office said that “worrying is the worst way to use your imagination” and that’s easily the best thing Ive heard all week

Do you know what makes a good doctor? Do you ask your physician their MCAT score? Their class rank in medical school? Their Step scores? Or do you ask whether they listen, whether they stay calm under pressure, whether they explain things clearly, whether they can make hard decisions at 2 AM when someone is dying? Those of us who train physicians — from medical students to fellows — spend years discussing exactly this question. And one thing becomes obvious very quickly: merit is not reducible to a number. GPA and MCAT scores are opening screens. They help determine who can enter the conversation. They are not prophecies about who will become the best clinician, surgeon, teacher, scientist, or healer. We have all met brilliant people who collapse the moment uncertainty, chaos, or emotion enters the room. Would you want them taking the call when your child arrests at 2 AM? When your spouse has metastatic cancer? When your parent must come off a ventilator? Medicine is practiced on frightened human beings, not on Scantrons. And importantly, we actually know the literature on this. The relationship between standardized test scores and who becomes the most trusted physician, best professor, strongest researcher, or finest clinician is far weaker than many people desperately want to believe.

You really gotta run a strict program or your life will be a circus

Wherever I am in the next 2-3 years I just hope I am genuinely happy.

I wish we would teach a specific class in grade school just on regulating emotions, communication, and problem solving!

ngl I have a feeling that my life is about to get really good.

fun fact about me, I will go & do anything by myself

Consideration is such a low effort behavior that when someone isn’t considering you you have to realize that it’s very intentional.

Point me to the nearest tea cake

No matter how smart you are, somebody can still teach you something.

I stilll play candy crush on the reg

Real life footage of me in the call room when the pager goes off 😭😭😭

Residency tip: Push for authorship, presentations, and papers. Nobody will remember how many late nights you worked. They will remember what you produced.

UNCOMFORTABLE conversations create HEALTHY relationships. Stop avoiding them.

So I kept saying how bad I wanted to have a summer body… and now my @DoorDash driver stole wings….

Anybody else run their phone to the ground!? 😭🤭

As a medical student/doctor you have every reason to have pride, don't let anybody gaslight you.
