I’m going to delete this account. It’s looking like I’m not going to be going to med school (by choice). I feel like this account just isn’t working for me anymore since I don’t work in direct patient care. If you want to keep in touch, DM me for my insta or personal Twitter.

Been off twitter because anxiety is making doing anything almost impossible. Be back when I can 🤷‍♀️

@LisaGrech4 @bonebrokemefix @DutchessDeb And as someone who is very often a patient as well as a provider/student/educator, if that a photo of my foot I would not be upset by this conversation because no one would be able to figure out where I live or who I am

@LisaGrech4 @bonebrokemefix @DutchessDeb This was educational for me. I was very interested to learn how this would be treated. There would be no way to go find that by googling as this is not a standard case. Thanks for teaching @bonebrokemefix

Have to spell her boyfriends names or call them the boyfriends because if we say the actual names she gets too excited

Hospitals need to do better. All week I’ve been having arguments with the nurses about doing things that I want to do that they say they need a doctors order for. I wanted to shower, have to get a doctors order, want to go downstairs to pick up clean clothes, have to get an order

@cschwanda33 That’s what I say every time!!!

Married people: tell me about the stupid, recurring argument you and your spouse just cannot, will not stop having

When I was told I needed to go on TPN and would probably never come off it

Will 2020 be the year I actually take the mcat? 😂

@EHahnMD Finding and connecting with other people who are on lifelong TPN has been huge for me. Knowing other people walking around connected to a backpack all the time has been a big part of me accepting this part of my life.

@Potato_Chip That’s amazing!!

You know what I think might be the most underrated medical speciality? Interventional radiology.
