It's annoying when people from other specialties downplay pediatrics and tell medical students and learners that pediatrics is "easier". There's nothing EASY about it, especially if your heart is not in the right place. Pediatricians deserve more credit and respect than they get.

As I got home, I kicked my shoes off, dropped my backpack, and sat on my futon. A few seconds later, the tears began again. Residency is not easy. There are new challenges each day. The start of intern year is hard. The days have been long. I am tired. But I am grateful. (5/6)

Successfully did my first lumbar puncture! Everything went really smoothly, and I felt well-supported throughout the entire procedure by the attending and nurse. Wasn't a champagne tap, but it was close! Maybe next time!

FYI if someone says they’re interested in pediatrics, the appropriate response is not "Why? Their salary is so low!" or "But you have to deal with the parents..." or "What happened? Did you do poorly on Step 1?". 🙄

I would encourage everyone to take the time to check up on your Asian and Asian American friends and colleagues because some of them may not be okay, especially given the recent surge in Asian hate crimes. 5/

This morning while pre-rounding, I asked a kid if anything was bothering him, and he said "You!" 😅 I mean, he's not wrong... 😂

Valentine's Day has always been my least favorite holiday. Each week, I see another post about a friend happily engaged or married or having a kid, and here I am wondering if that'll ever be me. Trying to stay positive and thinking about self-care and self-love on days like this.
