I think this one is… self explanatory.

I saw #10YearChallenge was trending so had to remind all y’all that you have my extended awkward period to thank for all of this personality. Where my fellow Late Bloomers at?

The title of this article, “The Grind of Medical Training Makes Us Better Physicians,” is actually not a take I agree with. But I was told that I needed to be more “positive” & I’m getting my bag - so I will give this. Did my training make me less scared of emergencies? Yes. Has my ability to read an EKG improved drastically in the last six months? Absolutely. As a third year medical student, three patients on consults would take me an entire day to understand; now I can (grumbling) oversee 20+ fairly comfortably. And I keep learning. There’s always more to know, and the more I learn, the more I realize that true mastery of the human body is something that is probably not achievable in medicine any time soon.

In 2021 I…
-Sold my debut novel -Married the love of my life/ half planned a wedding -Graduated IM residency -Started Cardiology fellowship -Traveled to two new countries -Made new friends on the innanets
I also stretched myself to the limit. My highs were high, but my lows were lower than I’d like. But because of this (& with the help of my awesome therapist), I’ve had so many revelations about what my true needs are. What actually gives me joy. And so this year, my 2022 goals aren’t going to be about achievement or productivity. They’re going to be about rest. I’m going to say “no” more, set stronger boundaries, watch more Netflix, and set as few productivity-based goals for myself as possible.
What are your New Year’s Resolutions?

I drew this comic for Medscape months ago and forgot to share, but with my hospital’s COVID numbers skyrocketing, felt relevant to bring up again. Please get v@ccinated, y’all. Healthcare workers are TIYAD. Check out my caption on Medscape on talking with patients about vaccine side effects; link in today’s story + bio!

I’ve officially hit the stage in life where pregnancy seems more welcome than it does catastrophic. Been thinking a lot about how many of cis straight female fellow medical trainees are trying/ talking about conceiving like they can snap their fingers & make it happen, and how often I’m already hearing stories cropping up about infertility struggles, rounds of IVF, pregnancy loss. Also thinking about how often we celebrate people working until they are quite literally about to pop, and how weird it is that we’ve normalized and valorized that. Thinking about how many photos I see of pregnant surgeons hunching over operating tables with labels like “Superwoman” swimming around in the captions, how infrequently talk about how the chronic sleep deprivation and high stress levels of our training are probably just as bad for our future kids as the coffee and deli meats that we all know to avoid. Thinking about the number of people I’ve probably met who had silently miscarried and told no one, suffered in silence through those days, only to tell their stories years later on Twitter threads. Thinking about my senior who got pregnant during an “inconvenient” time, “earning” her the resentment of her colleagues when they had to reshuffle schedules to cover her.
….but also that some of those babies were so stinking cute, even when they were screaming bloody murder. (Obligatory no babies were kidnapped during this vacation, despite how many of them sent my ovaries into a flurry)

Hey guys I’m on vacation, eating good, hanging in paradise with bae & my bff, & trying to ward off the deep existential dread that comes with the knowledge that I have to be back on my old BS in less than a week 😎🥳🥴
