My fiancé who “works” from home.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

Having an unemployed friend to text during work is so important. They’re like the window in your prison cell.

When I’m off work on random weekdays and running errands, I always feel like an undercover agent cause no one knows I’m secretly a doctor.

@Foreverasheley @fuqekgs My residency program has 100+ people in it, 4 of us are black. So it gets worse the higher you go.

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

@fuqekgs My rural PCP saved my life. I casually talked about my abnormal periods and weight gain and she ordered a TVUS. Turns out I’m one of the people with “cystic” ovaries so it should’ve been an easy diagnosis lol

Imagine having three degrees and making this much. Truly humbling.

[Robo @robowyd]

Have I lost touch with reality because $55k for a job that requires a masters degree is basically nothing

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

My favorite thing to do honestly.

[𝙳𝚛. 𝙼𝚊𝚑𝚖𝚘𝚘𝚍 ☤ @Dr___MD]

Internal medicine is basically professional overthinking.

Doing my ICU rotation and realizing not many people were trained to intubate without a scope. Is this common training for osteopathic schools?

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

Any tips for an intern on their first ICU rotation (yes it’s very late in the year but these are the cards I was dealt), who doesn’t like procedures 🫡

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

My partner and I have spent $400 on groceries in 2 weeks. How the heck are people with kids surviving??

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

Most inaccurate thing about #thepitt is the lack of medicine residents. Why hasn’t anyone been admitted to medicine?? I demand representation.

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

@ameliapond1969 @fuqekgs False. My IMG coresidents are 1000% smarter than me. Not to mention most were attendings and chose to start over again.

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

Congrats to all who matched 🎉🥳 Please remember that feeling a year from now when you’re on a 12 day stretch of 12 hour days. #match2026

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

I see a therapist twice a month.

[Assad @oyebajwey]

How do even introverts do medicine. Talking to that many people is so exhausting and that too everyday??Crazy.

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

@KeruboSk My now finance and I have texted 24/7 since BEFORE our first date. If he could, he would.

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

@Mubarak_mubious My partner will not let me throw away food. He will eat the food off my plate even if he’s full.

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

Hire a cleaner if you have the money

[mubiouš @Mubarak_mubious]

what’s one ‘small adult cheat code’ u wish you learned earlier ??

[rae_timzy @omo_Akinbile]

What type of shock though?
Distributive, cardiogenic, hypovolemic or obstructive?

[Sky Sky @skykandie]

The Black tax is not exclusive to Black athletes and entertainers. Almost any Black person that has jumped higher in class relative to their parents, siblings, or additional immediate family, pays a Black tax. That includes, first gen college grads, doctors, lawyers, etc.

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

@lastsigfig It’s not super specific, but it does lead me to check for other metabolic dysfunctions!

[Cheyennae Barbee (DO, MS) @CMBarbee_]

Metformin

[Thendo Ralph @ThendoRalph]

How do you get rid of this?
