@DGlaucomflecken I have the same hope one day! My mom is the one who taught us tennis and to love it - am hoping once I start my attending job to save up for exactly this! 🥹

@mianhi63 @olsonplanner I was coming here to say this^ They act like they don’t know anything from my fed loan payments and I’m afraid the same thing will happen with my mohela payments..

Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila.
Dr Ahmad Al Sahar.
Dr Ziad Al-Tatari.

We are devastated by the killing of these three doctors - including our Dr Abu Nujaila and Dr Al Sahar - following a strike on Al-Awda hospital in #Gaza today.

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

3. The best way I could be there while the specialists & surgeons worked bedside was to show compassion & empathy to the parents

My time in the PICU ended with hugging those parents & grieving their process myself once I was home. It’s ok to take time & sit in vulnerability

I’ve seen so many posts excited about moving to the next PGY year or starting intern year, and rightfully so. But, end of 2nd year hit different for me. I ended with the pediatric ICU and it tore my heart wide open. There’s two kiddos in particular…

I know we complain a lot about off service blocks but ending on PICU taught me:

1. More than I ever thought I’d know about ECMO
2. My god, it is scary to be a parent

And finally…

I came for the leukocytosis but I stay for the DRAMA 👏

[Edie Waskel @EdieWaskelDO]

Me, explaining the lab findings, discharge instructions, and medications prescribed upon discharge.
Parents of pt: that’s so sweet of you, but when are we going to hear it from the doctor?

I started the convo with “it’s me again, Dr. Waskel” too 🥲

As much as I look up to my EM attendings, working in the Peds ED with these docs as they calculate meds dosing, diagnose weird ass rashes, resus kiddos all day…literal gods 🤌🏽🤯

My sister is taking our 2 year -old niece shoe shopping and I told her “get her some light up shoes!” And with a straight face she said, “no because you can see light up shoes if there’s ever a school shooting.” What in the actual f*ck is happening to us as a society??
