When I was an intern, I botched a central line on a patient with an INR >3

Then I generalized that moment into me being a terrible doctor

15 years later, one of the greatest skills I’ve learned is how to stop shaming myself, and to realize we are more than any single moment in our lives

Whoever created the term “subclinical” hyperthyroidism has clearly not ever been hyperthyroid.

As a Grave’s disease patient myself, I can tell you that your TSH is a much better “lab” than a T3/T4

Turns out your pituitary knows what’s up.

As I pulled my resident aside after a tough day doing regional anesthesia, I asked the same first question I always ask when I have clinical competency concerns,

“How are things at home?”

Most of the time the answer is “fine.”

This time they said, “I have cancer.”

If you use the word “gaslighting” a lot you need to read this book:

When I was burning out in medicine, I was full of “Once I…” statements

Once I…

… pay off my loans
… buy the doctor house
… get that leadership position
… create a successful side gig
… get promoted

THAT is when I’ll be happy

This is called an arrival fallacy
