Today, I found out my uncle passed away, my great uncle passed away, and there’s a Cat 4 hurricane headed towards a city I love with people I love in it. Today’s….not too good.

We got a long way to go but it’s truly crazy to think how much we’ve learned as interns in such little time! #internchronicles #obgyn

Today was just not my day…but I’m so thankful to chiefs and attendings who keep encouraging me and laugh at me when I do dumb intern things #obgyn

When will I feel qualified to make decisions…never. That’s when.

[Avani Patel, MD @_AvaniPatel_]

I know I just started residency and all, but man it was nice to have a 3 day break 😎 #internyear

“Tomorrow I will be better.” And that’s how I’m going to get through these next 4 years. #obgyntwitter
