31 years ago today my brain tried to escape the rigid confines of my skull and off me.
This hospital saved my life, and from then on I was in love with medicine - being able to dedicate my life to saving others. I still think it’s pretty cool that I actually get to do that here.

As seen at the Sacramento Pride Parade yesterday.
While no form of apology or amount of apologizing will ever convince me that churches are good, actually, this felt genuine and moving.
These women were truly out there given hugs and spreading joy and it was...nice.
