In case you ever wondered, a goat OB ultrasound is more similar to a human than it is different. I haven’t had such a fun night in a while. 😅

What kinds of “other” things do y’all use your doctor skills for outside the hospital?

I met N when I was still a resident and she was a med student. I took her under my wing and we became friends. She watched me traverse the difficult path of residency, into fellowship, and then into my first attending job. She then matched into her own residency, a notoriously difficult one.

Took a break from this little corner of socials for the past year & been working hard on my Beauty:Death ratio. I now have a farm to balance out my life in emerg. What’s new with you all #medtwitter? Are you all taking care of yourselves?

Money is recoverable.
Time is not.

I’m attempting to cut back the money I’m spending on books but 😩 books just bring me so much joy. Comment below if you’d be interested in a book swap!

Are you even best friends if you don’t get each other some variation of the same gift for Christmas?

This week is full of hope that finally feels tangible. We can now see a light at the end of the tunnel & it is no longer the light of an oncoming train but the light of Science.

For the first time in many months, I am filled with happiness & hope...finally feels like Christmas.

Who needs a laugh today?
I know I did.

This full moon has my cats on another level of wild!

As women physicians in 2020, we still struggle to be taken seriously compared to our male counterparts, as we battle stereotypes like THIS EXACT ONE. We expect the brands we support to reflect the badasses we are. @wearfigs - women physicians are disappointed in you. Do better.

A patient punched me in the face.

A law enforcement officer watched it happen.

He then told my staff to convince me not to press charges because “the hit wasn’t that hard”.

Can we stop the gaslighting?

Violence against healthcare workers is never okay. NEVER.

Ever felt like you just wanted to fly away from it all?

Yeah. Me too.

So I did. And it was glorious.

Even in the midst of a COVIDY mess, my gremlin night shift fam bucked the rules and surprised me for my birthday. I’m lucky for so many things but my favorites are my people. 🥰

I couldn’t go to Bali this summer so I decided to bring Bali to me with this beautiful @Airbnb experience. What things have you found that help fill the space in your heart travel usually occupies? Virtually connecting to meet/learn someone/thing new is a favorite of mine 🙏🏻

Anyone else signing on for #CodaZero? We can all use some connection and inspiration today! Especially when it's coming from the @codachange team.

I’m done pretending I’m okay. Who else is exhausted? Who else is angry? Sad? Fed up?

Living in a pandemic is f-ing hard.

All the feelings are okay and in some cases even necessary.

You’re not alone.

Social media can be infuriating but it can also be an amazingly incredible source of connection & comfort. This week I’m so grateful for two very special twitter friends who have gone out of their way to send me love & support.

What positivity has come from your twitter lately?

Life is tough sometimes when you’re feeling tired and it seems like a long uphill ahead, but we can all help each other get to the top. 😉

Think race doesn’t affect healthcare and medical treatment?

Think again.

Read below and comment if you see a book you’d like to read and can’t afford it. I’ll have it mailed to your home address, under the contingency that you pass it on to someone else when you’ve finished reading it. We can be better together.

Is anyone else really exercising their green thumb during this time?

I don’t know about you all, but it feels really encouraging to be able to keep something alive & healthy right now...

Share a pic of your plant babies with me!
