I wish nurses would think about how stuff sounds before they say it. Telling a patient “I went ahead and talked to the actual doctor” in front of me, because I am a resident… is so damn rude. It’s demeaning. Maybe I should stop being nice.
Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”
The ED is where policy meets reality:
No access to primary care → med refills in the ED
No mental health funding → crises in the ED
No addiction services → overdoses in the ED
We don’t just see patients. We see policy failures.
Congratulations to everyone who applied for #Match2026 🙌 As interviews invitations start to go out, resist the urge to panic because you haven't gotten the interviews you were hoping for yet... many invites wont go out until the holidays or even later. Trust the process 🤞
