A "nice job" from Epic has become my attending equivalent of a gold star on a test.

@MKIttlesonMD I tell patients that in the cardiology world it's always better to be the person who has to wait than the person who can't wait!

[Caroline Ball, MD @carolineaball]

@MaaloufMD I flip the narrative and tell my patients that since I now have a son to send to college I can't retire for 18 years!

@SCOTUSDani @DrFuent Thanks!! It's the BEST day for a birthday!!

@AllisonRBond One of my colleagues took a picture of her kitchen on a day that it looked its best and then uploaded it as her Zoom background - now we always think her kitchen looks impeccable.

As both a cardiologist and a new mom my Twitter feed is all about the shortages of formula AND IV contrast. My son and I are fortunate enough to be able to breastfeed, but I like to think I'm really doing my part by not ordering any unnecessary CTs or caths...

@SCOTUSDani New seat opening up - is it your turn?

[Caroline Ball, MD @carolineaball]

@DrQuinnCapers4 I try to dress up on the weekends - I want my patients to know I'm still giving them 100% regardless of the day of the week.

@adamcifu If your message to the patient is going to be more than 3 full sentences it is better to simply pick up the phone and call them.

@AVermeulen18 @SonalOwens I loved this, too! @jessicabennett had a few great phrases to help us retain ownership of our ideas, such as "I'm glad that you agree with me on this." #wicbook

@MKIttlesonMD I can't wait to get family members back to clinic post-COVID, both for history-taking and for education!

@AllisonRBond Absolutely! My neck was sore after the first few months as an attending from constantly looking for someone to be looking over my shoulder!
