There are no words for the loss and shock our CHOP family is feeling. Barbara embodied the best of all of us. Her memory will live on in each of us whose lives she touched.

Please keep her loved ones in your thoughts

Thinking about the attending who, upon hearing I was accepted to med school, asked 1. what specialty I was interested in (a: peds) and immediately followed that up with 2. did I know how much the peds salaries were and 3. would my parents therefore be paying for med school

Pediatrics has been declining in popularity among U.S. MD graduates for years: the number of MD applicants actually peaked in 2015.

Fortunately, the decline in MD applicants has been offset by an increase in DO and IMG applicants.

That is, until now (see graphic above).

Currently on a rotation in Botswana and met members of our research team for the first time. They asked where I live in the US and their next question was when our last shooting was. Can’t blame them for that being their first follow-up question.

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was something keeping track of your most common typo when entering your password

Anyways I’m on hour 20 of my call and I’m continuing to mistype my password

If you ask a resident how it’s going and they say living the dream they are dying inside. They are not, in fact, living the dream.

Just finished an overnight shift in the peds emergency department.

Whatever you are imagining when you hear the news about RSV, and increased viral illnesses, and high pediatric volumes…it’s 1000 times worse.

@jen_kaufman excuse me Jennifer

10+ hour waits. High acuity. No resources. Hallway patients. Boarding ICU level patients for 60+ hours. This is pediatric emergency medicine. In America. In 2022.

Should I change my bio to say PGY-2?

Hold on one sec, checking with my senior first!

The bi-monthly paycheck that doesn’t immediately go entirely to paying rent hits different 🙌🏻

I’ve worked 12 days in a row and as much as I don’t want to work a 13th, a set of new parents were so excited when they heard I’d be back tomorrow and it warmed this tired May intern’s heart
