Found out I was nominated for a teaching award from our medical students today & am so honored/blown away. I have so much to learn myself & am so happy I have impacted anyone who is eager to learn. Thankful for all my opportunities and mentors from @GUUrology @GUMedicine 🙌🏽☺️🥹

Time flies when you have a great team! End-of-rotation dinner following a busy summer - very proud of this stellar group. @GUUrology

Absolute all star 🌟 @BMoraGarijo can’t wait to see all you do ♥️

Had such a blast at my first AUA presenting our research on GSW-related urethral trauma @QmaxDC @tinalulla! So many amazing presentations this weekend. Also loved getting to experience it with so many friends! @suditi_r Can’t wait for next year! #AUA2025

The amount of hate doctors are getting right now is off the charts, and people just don’t seem to get the consequences of it. Let’s get something straight: doctors didn’t go into this field to watch patients suffer or get rich quick. The fact that people think that is honestly laughable. The years of sacrifice, the debt we carry, I t’s unreal. No one signed up for a system where we barely get time with patients who have to wait months, sometimes over a year, to see us. That’s not why we chose this. Most of us became doctors because we genuinely wanted to help people. We started out excited, hopeful, and ready to make a difference. But then reality hit. Hard. The truth? Doctors are leaving in droves. Some are starting private practices, others are just walking away. A lot are ditching insurance altogether, and honestly, I get it. Insurance companies have made practicing medicine harder than ever, and it’s draining our ability to actually help people. We KNOW how bad the system is. We know patients struggle to get care. We know many of you have been let down by the system. WE’RE FRUSTRATED TOO. But if more doctors leave, who will be left to take care of you and your family? We didn’t sign up to practice medicine like this. A lot of us are trying to change it from the inside, but it’s exhausting, physically, mentally, and emotionally. We didn’t become doctors to spend 10 minutes with you and barely have the time to help. Meanwhile, people are using the broken system to spread mistrust: “Doctors only care about money” they say. But when it’s an emergency, who do you call? I don’t have all the answers, but I’m doing everything I can to fight for this profession I love. There’s no other career I’d want. But it’s tough watching colleagues and patients struggle because of a system that’s broken. So if there’s a doctor you’re grateful for, let them know. It’ll mean more than you think.
