Starting a thread of my clerkship thoughts — enjoy!
Saw my first delivery as a med student today. The fact that patients let us into their most special and sacred moments is amazing. I hope I never lose the feeling I felt today. #familymed

Today I felt it all come together. Neurosurg was busy in office and sent me over to hosp to see a couple consults. I saw the patients, wrote notes, talked to nursing & answered family’s questions. A much needed confidence boost 🧠

Got to drive doc’s Tesla AND the da Vinci robot today 😏🏎💨
Wannabe by the Spice Girls is echoing through the OR hallways. Happy Tuesday
Day 2 of Surgery: My feet and kidneys hurt. Although my attending takes us to @DennysDiner after rounding in the AM and before the OR...so makes up for it.
Doing my Gen Surg rotation at a critical access hospital - no OB, no ICU. Everyone knows everyone. Day 3 and the cafe workers know my name. #winning
