Update: this is me as a pediatrician

[Cory Alexieff, DO @CoryAlexieff]

I don't think I could be a pediatrician because I would want every kid to think I'm cool and I'm horrified by the possibility of being ridiculed by wisecracking adolescents who are way cooler than me

like this would legit be me as a pediatrician:

deciding if today's the day I finally decorate my apartment walls after a month of living here or if I just commit to a life of convincing myself that they look better blank (they don't)

Ohio Measles outbreak in 2022: only 5% of the Measles-infected children who were age-eligible for routine MMR vaccination had received an MMR dose. More than 40% of the kids had to be hospitalized. Vaccines are safe & effective so def get them plz & thx

just had swordfish for the first time in years and I def forgot how good swordfish is and I’d just like to thank George Clooney for his sacrifice

Huge news! Curious to see the impact on our inpatient pediatric floors over the next few years.

But as always, such a shame to see cost $$$ be an issue. Pediatricians who serve our most vulnerable populations will inevitably feel the brunt of this smh

@racb33 @Einstein_Peds A certain Dr. Garcia made them for the blue team to wear today!

[Cory Alexieff, DO @CoryAlexieff]

When people ask me “why pediatrics?” I’m just gonna show them this shirt #bestjobever @Einstein_Peds

[Cory Alexieff, DO @CoryAlexieff]

Congrats to everyone who matched today!!! Especially to my new #tweetiatrician friends! Can’t wait to meet the next batch of residents to welcome to the @Einstein_Peds fam! #Match2022

Today was my first day back on our inpatient peds rotation since the beginning of PGY-2 and I forgot how much I love hospital medicine ❤️ #PediatricHospitalMedicine

I only care about the Winter Olympics because every 4 years is the perfect amount of time between being passionate about curling.

That feeling when you fall asleep sitting upright and you get startled into another realm the second your head nods forward

[Cory Alexieff, DO @CoryAlexieff]

Wait… There are people who just say what’s on their mind immediately without thinking about if you should say it, what’s the best way to say it, when to say it, how saying it would impact others, role playing the 38 scenarios that could play out if you said it??? …psychos

[Cory Alexieff, DO @CoryAlexieff]

It’s funny the reactions I got this morning after telling people I got 4 total hours of sleep on my 24hr PICU call shift. Medical people are like wow good shift you can have a normal post-call day now and non-medical people are like oh my god are you ok sweetie go get some rest

[Cory Alexieff, DO @CoryAlexieff]

just filled up my gas tank on the way home from work instead of leaving it for morning Cory to deal with and ok where do I go to collect my award

The easy residency

[Cory Alexieff, DO @CoryAlexieff]

@iuls @DGlaucomflecken Ah no problem with that. I cringe when people refer to patients as “kiddo”. It’s usually non-peds people trying to sound “peds-y” and it can often be really dehumanizing

[Cory Alexieff, DO @CoryAlexieff]

best thing about masks is that now I can never tell if someone I’m politely interacting with is just bad at smiling with their eyes or if my existence in that moment is a burden on their soul
