Happy nurses week!!! Especially to my favs in the ICUs who take care of me, make sure I’m fed and asked “do you want fluids?” when I was a scared intern dealing with my first really sick pt…(the answer was yes lol). I’m a better physician because of them 💕💕 #Nurses_Week2023

@RaechelTWhite This is actually how I summon a pharmacist when I have a question about a medication lol

Me after I did my first lap appy as an intern, the attending texted this pic to my mom… (don’t mind the scrubs, they only had either way too big or way too small lol)

A med student texted me and said I’m a big reason she’s now going to apply general surgery & tbh makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Here’s to helping the future generation of physicians find their path!

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that you will have zero consults all day and 5 min before your shift ends you’ll get one… #residentlife #consultettiquette

Calling consults is one of the more intimidating parts of medicine. After many times getting it wrong, here are some of my tips for how to make a consulting service not hate u: 1/n

[Andrea, MD/PhD @AwkwardResident]

These are just some things I have learned and try to apply after many failures. Figure out what works for you and ask other ppl their opinion.

Feel free to add any other tips!

5: have relevant data ready. Understand enough of what ur asking them so u can have data handy. Calling cards cause pt had chest pain? What work up did u do before calling them? Do they have a recent echo? Have that info ready
