I'M GONNA BE A SURGEON!!! #GenSurgMatch #Match2023
"Vasoactive juice" is what one of the peds cardiac anesthesiologists called epinephrine the other day and I'm calling my coffee that from now on
Honestly I don't know what prepared me most for being a surgical intern: medical school or being a CNA on a burn ICU Both taught me many things in the 4 years I did them that have helped me in the last week
First medication order was... Enoxaparin! Fitting for surgery residency I think 😁
🚨 Major life update 🚨 We got a dog. Say hi to Scooby!
medical students will take a study break to do household chores and call it self-care
Today my sister - an RN - came across a man who had a seizure near our Father's Day brunch. Luckily she did not need to do any compressions, called for an ambulance, and the man was quickly taken to a nearby hospital. You never know when Basic Life Support skills will be needed!
The AMA’s newest president, Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld, is the first openly gay leader of the nation’s largest group of physicians. @NorahODonnell sat down with him to discuss the issues facing doctors and patients today and why he’s pushing for “science-based medicine.”
I've been told that residency will be the hardest part of my life. I've also been told that my 30s will be the best part of my life. I start both within a few weeks of each other so maybe they will cancel each other out 🫠🫠
There are SO MANY forms. There are forms within the forms. There are forms within the forms within the forms. At the end of the day, a small price to pay for the opportunity to be a SURGEON! I still can't get over it 🥰
“Diversity hires!!” That’s not how Match works “Show us their GPAs!” That’s not how med schools work “It doesn’t reflect the population” Neither did the classes full of white men When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
Stanford’s 2023 surgical team: 92% women (US: 50% women) 69% nonwhite (US: 38% nonwhite) 0% white men (US: 30% white men)
Seeing Dr. Megan Quamme or Megan Quamme, MD on communications to me is so strange and yet it is going to be reality in a little over 2 months 😱
I'm staying in Milwaukee! #GenSurgMatch2023 #Match2023 #iAMAmatch @MCWSurgery

Today my sister told me she was proud of me when I told her about my rank list. We weren't friends when we were in high school, but my sister is my best friend now and I'm so grateful for our relationship now ❤️
