It really freaks me out seeing patients who had such mild, borderline asymptomatic COVID come back with just fibrotic and basically non-functional lungs months later
Med Instagram: look at how perfect my notes are, my sexy scrubs, here’s my stethoscope shaped perfectly around my coffee
Med Twitter: I only cried twice today and I’m not sure who’s or what bodily fluids are on my sleeve. I also had Taco Bell three times in the past hour.
I have no idea what to get fiancé for Christmas. Last time we said “oh let’s just do something small” I got his a keychain bottle opener and he got me a diamond engagement ring.
Only just discovered a old medical drama called House and I'm as addicted as I was for Grey's 😱counting this as productive preparation for entering clinical years (Y3) :)
Mad to think it started when I was 4 years old lol no wonder I hadn't heard of it😂

Saw my OBGYN today and apologized for being on my period during the exam...
She gave me a solid lecture about how having a normal bodily function isn’t rude and to never apologize
Holy shit I’m catching feelings
every once in a while I realize that everyone in the hospital are being kept alive 20 and 30 somethings who struggle to feed themselves anything but caffeine
I’m going to say it. I work with residents. I learn the same things they learn. I get to go home, because I’m a PA. They work 28 hour call. I come back, rested and ready to learn. They’re zombies.
This is not how we should train physicians.
all these hospitals posting beautiful nurse appreciation paragraphs like they didn’t cut their staffing ratios, take away their IRP, delayed raises, and pay cuts.
Sorry have to mute this. Keep in mind I work with an immunocompromised population however even these long term effects aren’t isolated to this population either. Please look for studies with data and talk to your doctor if you’re concerned!!
Women are amazing. Women are bad ass doctors. Women are bad ass surgeons. Women are bad ass PAs. Women are bad ass nurses. Women are bad ass mothers. Woman are badass bosses.
Women are bad ass.
Respect us or gtfo.
Fun fact: if I die in a mass shooting or any gun violence, you have my full permission to talk about it, politicize it, take charge and take action immediately. No week to grieve and sure as hell I won’t want your thoughts and prayers.
I think the hardest part about trying to talk with someone not in healthcare is they simply can’t grasp how COVID had essentially ran my life since March. I can’t even relate to people anymore.
Ladies: what’s your strongest flex? Do not worry about being cocky.
I am smart. Like stupid smart, from a stupid young age. And not ashamed. I’m also super good at makeup.
WHATS YOURS?
I will never apologize for choosing a field where I am paid quite well with thankfully not debilitating debt and still get to practice smart medicine.
I will always argue that residents should be paid more and treated better. I can’t exist without good doctors.
I unapologetically do not want to be a mother right now. For the first time in my life I am living with my husband. We have disposable income. We get drunk on Saturday afternoons and spend Sunday’s laying on the couch. We sleep. It’s amazing.
*sees a baby*
OH MY GOOOOOD ♥️♥️♥️
At this wedding some guy was trying to be a medical hot shit trying to pick up girls. Telling them he’s going to be an orthopedic surgeon. I asked where he matched. He didn’t. I asked what year he was. He’s a premed.
“Oh you bought a house with three bedrooms! Why would you do that if you don’t want kids?”
TO HOLD ALL MY COOL SHIT THAT I BOUGHT WITH MONEY I DIDNT SPEND ON KIDS, KAREN.
my husband sent our takeout to the incorrect address and yes I am going to fucking cry about it I haven’t eaten all day after working 5 hours over shift end someone come pick up this man he’s single
I’m going to send a card to a patient’s wife. This patient just recently passed and his wife was buy his side 24/7, which means I was with her every time I saw him. I got to know her and connected with her. This isn’t inappropriate, right?

My personal dream was to get hit in the cross walk and have them hit me just enough for hairline fracture on my non dominant arm - with a little abrasions and bruises and then it would be goodbye student loan debt. Glad you’re okay!!
I’ll be one of the first to admit that Taylor Swift really did introduce me to Travis Kelce and now I’m deep into the Kelce vs Rodgers vax war and I will be purchasing a Kelce jersey
Today my nephew fell and hurt his knee. As he was crying I asked if he would ever walk again. He said no.
I told him if he would never walk again I might as well cut his leg off.
He cried harder.

I genuinely feel pity for those who feel threatened by PAs and NPs. To go through all of that school and training, to know all of that science and medicine, to feel like you could be replaced is some insecure shit
Today I banged out 3 bone marrow biopsies, and LP, two codes, coordinated care for all my patients. My attending pulled me aside and told me I’m thriving on my own. It was a good day.
My biggest issue with weight gain is my caloric intake. I LOVE food, and comfort food is my passion.
Anyone have recommendations on substitutions in meals to make comfort foods a bit less calories but still comforting?
My patient was yelling at me for not wanting to be in the hospital anymore and threatening to sign out AMA and you know what I don’t want to be here either so I signed out AMA with them
APPs exist so we can help doctors give the best care to patients, help doctors not stretch so thin. We can help with the work load.
Let us help residents not kill themselves or not quit. Let us help them have a better life - so that they can graduate to be even better doctors.
My husband had a zoom party with friends last night and I went to bed early because I have to work today. He didn’t get into bed until 5am
When I went downstairs there were beer cans and shot glasses on the counter.
Do I.. do I get mad? Do I ask where he’s been??
*scenes from an academic hospital*
Me: please do this thing
Consultants: no
M: please, my attending is requesting it
C: no
Attending: hey, i want this thing done
C: oh hey of course, right away
