I was one recommended to have a “common place book”. Over the last few years I’ve collected interesting quotations, the wisdom of the wise, the folly of the foolish, insights, weird things, aphorisms. Anyone else have one?

I try to tell my mentees my own story of “failing forward” when they doubt themselves but I think this quote sums it up “Never let the things you cannot do stop you from doing the things that you can.” - Coach John Wooden

Is there an advantage to waiting after VAD? New data from the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study found a survival benefit for children transplanted more than 1 month after implant @AreneButtoMD https://t.co/xE4gUZSdv0

>200 years and we still don’t have anything better for quick, objective, and inexpensive diagnosis at the bedside than the stethoscope. I’m looking forward to the day I’ll have an echo probe in my pocket #POCUS

52 yrs ago my family arrived from Cuba, fleeing persecution. Incredible that my grandparents were my age, w/ 5 kids, & had to start over in a new country & learn a new language. So thankful for them & their hard work to give us the opportunities we have today. “Que viva la pepa”
