There IS a doctor on the plane..officially Kira Garry MD, MPH! Cannot thank
@PennStateGME
@PennStHershey
enough for shaping me into the physician I am today. Thank you to everyone near and far who's helped me get to this point. Inspired, humbled, excited for this next step
Today I had a breakfast with 10 seniors who I have seen every morning in the YMCA pool the past 4 months while injured. They swim while I aqua jog-- we've talked about NYC, they know about my injury, my track event, and even my medical school interviews
relief hits different at 38,000 ft. A lott of work and stress- had to find a way to really believe in myself and what I was doing so I'm proud of this one. Thanks
@United
for the great Wifi, Passed Step 1 !!
Wrote a thing about a Central Park morning and my return to running
Being able to do the thing you love is a beautiful thing, and sharing it with others is even better
Spoke about injury, my running career, and the NYC running community with
@ChrisChavez
and
@LeighAnneSharek
. Thank you—hope to catch some miles with you soon 🤍
“Even though deep down I know I’ll run again and I’ll be healthy, I think you do so grieve in a way of losing running – especially when it’s a huge part of your community.” –

@PennStHershey
Community is community (!) I never thought I would have three new 80 yr old friends who invite me to breakfast in their home, but it has been amazing to have a similar sense of shared purpose and respect--they are out there every day, 6 am, exercising and socializing.
Feel lucky to have met such kind, interested people. Their "HI!" every morning helped me get through those pool workouts more than they'll know. So I guess, say hi to people! Invest in your community. You might make some new friends (who also bake delicious xmas cookies)
We found out that all UP M4s matched today- this was the FIRST matching class for
@PennStHershey
University Park curriculum. SO proud of the M4 class for being brave- they took an extra year to help build this curriculum and this community. They took a leap and it paid off!

Had a powerful interaction with a patient yesterday where I finally learned to sit with the silence, the pauses. That sometimes silence was what the patient needed more than my asking more Q's. It was amazing to find that there kept being more to say, more of the story to unravel
on the last day of my last rotation ever (!) before becoming a doctor, I went in to check on my patient at the end of the day. He is a 75 yo veteran who had squamous cell cancer s/p total laryngectomy and used a voice box. he first greeted me with "Howdy doc!" and i smiled /1
Very excited about our paper that was just published today in

:
"I'm here! I beat it! But I lost a month- I have too much to do, I want to get on with my life! I'm lucky. I had family and too many people praying for me that I didn't have a choice. I had to get better"
I checked on his breathing and then said I sadly won't see you tmrw. You are actually the last patient I take care of before i graduate! he said "well you're going to do great. I was pretty down in the dumps when i got here and you lifted me up. you listened, you did good things"

Having the best time back in NYC for a rotation. feels like home both literally and figuratively- can't wait to do this!!
One of the coolest things is seeing the girls who were freshman! when I was a sixth year now in their last NCAA seasons running so fast. teams are special like that, you know how much work they've put in to get where they are now. go blue :)
SO proud of my friend
@dana_gio6
!! I said to my sister yesterday morning, "dana is gonna run 15:15 today"-- a few seconds off but pretty close for friend telepathy. She's been working hard all fall and can't wait to see what she does outdoors

@GoPSUsports
win over Maryland in overtime! It felt the same, but different. being back in that environment and seeing everyone who goes into it- trainers, coaches, docs, athletes, fans, it was magic💙
What a bizarre question stem I came across tonight. socialites and amiodarone who knew! Feel like
@shailinthomas
probably has a good take on weird vignettes/ones that do not relate to the actual question haha
Learned a ton helping with this byte! seeing *unexpected* wires in a CXR is always a little stressful as a student, so I love having this systematic way (see last slide) to think about it!
2/ Did you notice that the ICD lead backed out of its original position? (see green overlay)
This is due to twisting of the proximal leads, most likely from the patient manipulating the battery pack below the skin AKA Twiddler’s Syndrome!
Made the most out of remote learning today. Led our IQ group and discovered that

has a very cool new white board feature. Also, CResME's (clinical reasoning mapping exercise) are super fun. I am not artistic but THIS is art to me

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we are honored to play a small role in ASICS athlete, Johnny Gregorek's, story.
Stay tuned throughout the month for ways you can get involved and how you can run your own Blue Jean Mile. 💙
So lucky to have

Spoke with Jane Danford my PT about recovery and some other random things
something I've felt has been really helpful for me this year is the idea that moving my body in whatever way feels good is a great thing to learn- walk run or realizing I need sleep
Excited to present tomorrow

for your mentorship!!
Only thing you can do on the day is SHOW up. WOW

so inspiring. Teaches us to be humble, work together, and never count yourself out. aaaah it's so good

I have my anki set for cards just for the shelf exam I'm studying for. Then I do anki + 10 Uworld combo just in that subject and I've found that is a great way to study for shelfs! especially when you're tired at the end of the day from clerkships, just doing that is enough!
Thank you
@DoctorJesseMD
for the great lecture and time during lunch to speak with us!! It was inspiring to learn about all that you've done in the health policy, equity, and healthcare delivery spheres. Dr. Ehrenfeld instilled in us what it means to be an advocate for change
and by learned I mean continue to learn, but it felt good to realize in an emotional conversation that we were actually going somewhere and not in the way I thought it had to be done. there was power in vulnerability there. and what I hope just conveyed "I'm here, i'm listening"
Listened in to
