*Edoxaban never started
*Rivaroxaban is ONCE a day and Apixaban TWICE a day, but bleeding is TWICE as common with Rivaroxaban

Excited to share that I have matched into Internal Medicine at University of Tennessee – Maury Regional Medical Center, Columbia.
Looking forward to this new journey, learning, growth, and the opportunity to serve patients and the community.

Dr. Fischer, you’re a true rockstar. Your support, empathy, and genuine respect for the diverse religions and cultures of your residents set a gold standard for leadership. And since great leadership deserves great food, the next iftar is officially on me, my friend.
