When you go to a delivery with the NICU team and you don’t realize you’re the one in charge #pedsresidency

One of my patients hugged me after their appointment and it was the sweetest thing ever. This is why peds is the best. #pedsresidency #DOproud

First time senioring on the floor on days. Still recovering from a tough week on nights last week. #pedsresidency

For every PGY1 thats nervous about July 1, theres a PGY2 nervous about no longer being an intern, a PGY3 nervous about being in their last year, and a graduate nervous about being a new attending. And someone with years of experience out there who knows you all will be ok.

Last night was my last night as an intern. It was a crazy week but we were a great team. I love that we help each other out. #pedsresidency

Last ED shift of intern year. In exactly one month I will be a second year resident, which is crazy to think about. #peds

I appreciate my preceptor when she reenforces that I am a real doctor to some families.

Major *oof* this morning and I’d like to unpack this:

“close to 30% of pediatric residency programs did not fill their residency positions, with the total number of graduates applying to pediatrics declining by 6.1% over last year”

Another reason peds residency is the best is Halloween 🎃

Hospital photographer Ted Stevens does not take his work as a bereavement photographer for granted.

“I see the beginning of life, and then I see everything in between, up until the end,” he said. “If you’re able to experience that, that’s an honor.”
