When I was accepted to med school in 2008 I told my mom, a life long tennis fan, that I would take her to Wimbledon one day.

Last year, she was diagnosed with a high grade liposarcoma, which raised the Wimbledon urgency a bit.

Radiation, multiple surgeries, and my own cardiac arrest later, here we are at Wimbledon, happy and healthy.

@Surgeon_General @DGlaucomflecken The moment right before you start to lose empathy for your patients is probably when you should stop and eat lunch/use the restroom/drink water @KhanRetina

What if your medicine pager had a yearly wrap-up like Spotify:

"Care coordination defined your year"

"In total you spent 36,722 minutes writing progress notes this year."

"Let's run the list! - hottest anthem of 2022"

What if your pager had a yearly wrap-up like Spotify

“Dry eye defined your year”
“You frequented the neuro ICU for papilledema”
"Phenylephrine was your top drop"

Hi this is ophthalmology what's your eye complaint? Oh, this hat? Nah you're just seeing floaters. Try artificial tears.

When consultants drop their recs but sprinkle in the "final recs pending attending attestation" so they don't get blamed
