Today was (is, lol, my watch doesn’t end until 7am babyyyyy) my first day on CCU ( Cardiac intensive care unit) call. As the CCU fellow on call, I respond to all the cardiovascular emergencies in the hospital, and preside over the patients currently admitted to the CCU. Since I completed my residency at Uchicago, I’m already familiar with how things run, which is a distinct advantage. Also, I chose to stay at UCMC because I knew that I would be training in a supportive culture- my senior fellows and attendings are a text/ call/ page away! (One of my co fellows, Martin, even sent me a Grubhub gift card because I’m working the holiday… which is so darn sweet 🥲.)

Any of you find yourself in a new supervisory role, looking around for an “adultier adult?”
