@ThomasSuttonMD Hahahaha I love it 😂

[Shan L Kalmeta MD @ShanKalmeta]

Forever grateful to get to do life with the most caring, supportive man in the world — who was immediately willing to reschedule our first date, gently encourages me to be a better person, and makes having 4 days off a month feel like I’m living in a Hallmark movie ❤️

[Shan L Kalmeta MD @ShanKalmeta]

Assuming positive intent is one of the most difficult things for me to do consistently day in/day out.

But then I think about how many times I miss the mark, or mess up, & my actions or words don’t = my intent, & I find myself trying again to …

Assume positive intent.

One of the most fun parts of academia is stumbling on a journal article that catches your interest only to go "Hey wait friend of mine wrote this!"

@camila_guetter @WomenSurgeons @PMartinezMD @Brianna59213847 @brittljohn @Rashi2S @RASACS Oh my gosh I say “never again” every time I get behind on cases!

Now I keep an EPIC list with patients I operated on so that once a week I can log them all at once

Q6. Last one for tonight: Is there anything you wish you had done differently during your intern year? Any additional tips/tricks/advice for starting off on the right foot? @PMartinezMD @camila_guetter @ShanSLansing @Brianna59213847 @brittljohn @Rashi2S @RASACS #AWSchat

[Shan L Kalmeta MD @ShanKalmeta]

@brittljohn @WomenSurgeons @PMartinezMD @camila_guetter @Brianna59213847 @Rashi2S @RASACS If any of us knew everything already, we wouldn't need residency!

@WomenSurgeons @PMartinezMD @camila_guetter @Brianna59213847 @brittljohn @Rashi2S @RASACS in placing consults or having to wake up the on call person with a reasonable question. I would always make the call, but my heart would race out of fear someone would be angry. Don't be afraid, good doctors know their limits! #AWSchat

[Shan L Kalmeta MD @ShanKalmeta]

@WomenSurgeons @PMartinezMD @camila_guetter @Brianna59213847 @brittljohn @Rashi2S @RASACS Q5: It’s hard to pick just one thing! You will learn A LOT during the year.

If I had to pick one thing… I wish I had been less afraid to “bother” people at the beginning of intern year. There shouldn’t be any guilt... #AWSchat
