Yesterday after coming off a night shift (and knowing I was working that night lol) I ran my first ever 5k!
I'm famously not a runner, hate it really but I'm proud of myself for completing this

Went to Paris for a few days as a late 28th birthday celebration and just a "i needed a break" time
Honestly 4/10, likely won't visit again for a long time but maybe I went in the wrong time of year

Shortage of primary care doctors in U.S. comes down to money — and respect
More medical schools say they will no longer charge tuition. But evidence suggests it will take a lot more than a free ride.

When you're spending time with your family and loved ones today and tomorrow, remember the people holding down the fort at the hospital, making sure people still get the care they need.

Dealing with chronic pain throughout 2024 has really sucked and what sucks more is i delayed getting care because I was worrying too much about how me caring for myself would inconvenience people in my program

Colombia review:
Spent 8 days in 🇨🇴 (1.5 in Bogotá, 2.5 in Medellín, 4 in Cartagena)
Bogotá: Visited Monserrate via train which overlooks Bogotá & has a pretty church. Overall again I'd give it a 5/10. Glad I saw once but likely wouldn't return

Sometimes not everything is for every demographic and that's okay!
There are some things that are made for Black audiences. It has nothing to do with age.

When you’re seated for Thanksgiving dinner this week, think about the people who worked tirelessly to pick the food that made it to your table
Juan has spent 10 years harvesting sweet potato in CA. While the machine picks up most of the vegetables he often has to get on his knees and dig out the sweet potatoes the machine left behind. He does this up to 10 hours a day 5 days a week. #WeFeedYou

For the record, you can criticize the pick for Surgeon General without…
- Criticizing medical programs in the Caribbean
- Calling FM a “bottom feeder” program
- Criticizing the quality of training in particular states
There’s plenty to be critical about the SG pick without sounding elitist.

In this next year I'm trying to be more confident re: posting videos of myself online
I have so many things I wanted to post (ie my journey through Medicine, follow up to failing step 1 vid, travel, etc) but shame and feeling nobody would wanna hear from me of all people kept me from doing it
