To me, the most valuable thing about training at a number of different places is learning how little of what we do actually matters. Meaning there are lots of ways we can manage something to achieve a positive outcome

Pumped to start out a weekend call with this amazing group of women providers in the PCICU! @CCF_PICUFellows @CleClinicKids

@DGlaucomflecken You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

@allisonoconn Some people do too many fellowships and it shows

@WendyHassonMD The dextrose in the 2-bag system is from organically grown sugar cane and the insulin is from freshly ground pasture-raised pig pancreas.

@DrRissman “Mom, why do you love the kids at the hospital more than us?” (That one was a well-aimed knife to the heart by a saucy 2nd grader)

@eemoin When I started residency there were 3 Starbucks in the hospital, and because they considered the entire hospital the lobby, you could get free refills all day (and all night). I feel my intern year was a direct contributor to the eventual crackdown 🤣

@pedsmd2b Knew a pt who had abnormal labs at an outpatient appointment. The doc called and left a msg. Parent inadvertently missed the call. By morning kid was in extremis, made it to the ICU, but couldn’t be saved. Parent left w agonizing guilt for missing a voicemail…

@pedsmd2b “Serious but not emergent” can be a challenging distinction to make.

For male academics (who are 4x more likely to have a partner at home doing domestic care), the start of the COVID pandemic was a publishing boon. Of the 45 most prolific medical journal authors (60+ papers) during the 1st 18 months, just 5 were women.

@pccm_doc Rapid responses switched from overhead to paging only during my residency, and I think it did bring the overall stress level down.

@generalorthomd A post-call day is not a day off and I will die on this hill! It doesn’t count as a day off if you already worked 8 hours (a normal person’s entire work day!) that day.

@okwalding And here I’ve been calling it fake-eitis all this time when asymptomatic bactersputia was available!

@canty_hannah Also, even if you get adequate leave (and make up every day if it), an unpleasant surprise was how suspicious state medical boards are of any ‘leave of absence’ or ‘interruption in training.’ I needed multiple additional forms and letters from my program to explain my mat leave.
