I worked with a surgeon who called a timeout in the middle of a surgery and made sure the resident completely stopped operating so he could congratulate himself for remembering my name. This happened on the last day of the rotation after working together for an entire month...

Med student: You guys are the nicest residents
Me: that’s so kind of you
Med student: no really. Even people saying “good morning” to me and addressing me by my name is such a change

WHY is the bar still this low?! Can we please normalize treating med students as humans...

A reminder that victory would be George Floyd being alive. Every day Black Americans worry if they will be next is another day without justice.
