Why do we not let people read their LORs? People should understand how amazing they are.

Doing my whole nighttime anti-aging skincare routine hoping it will battle the effects of my overnight shift tonight.

Just finished an overnight shift in the peds emergency department.

Whatever you are imagining when you hear the news about RSV, and increased viral illnesses, and high pediatric volumes…it’s 1000 times worse.

I wish I had “mark as unread” for text messages

Love this thread- being on the patient side changes how we practice medicine

I was a paediatrician so used to seeing sick kids.

Then my daughter had open heart surgery.

Here are 5 things I learnt that every doctor should know:

kidneys making massive stones and then expecting to squeeze them through extremely small tubes without consequence is the most irresponsible shit

@MaddieMierMD Attending life can feel really lonely at the beginning (I cried a lot and messaged my fellowship crew daily for awhile) but I promise, with time, this crew feels like a family too!

Had a patient say “I want YOU to be the first to sign my cast”….sure he had just gotten IN midazolam, but it still made my day!

If a tweet I write ever goes viral I hope it’s this one because I’m trying to sound the alarm here.

There are currently NO PEDIATRIC ICU BEDS available in my state. Remember how the CDC warned about rhinovirus in the northeast? They weren’t wrong.

To the people flying internationally wearing jeans- who hurt you?

[Veena Devarajan, MD @devarajan_veena]

The expectations to work full time clinically in an ER while receiving emails all day that require response makes me feel like I’m behind on life at all times.

[Corynn Kasap @corynnkasap]

A family member admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics just told me the RN took "2 hot sauce bottles of blood" which is how i will be referring to blood cultures from now on.

[Veena Devarajan, MD @devarajan_veena]

The fact that the AAP has to release a statement condemning forcing children to have children is appalling!

[Veena Devarajan, MD @devarajan_veena]

@zh_angela Be empathetic- you remember what it was the first few weeks. Teach when you can but also feel okay saying “I don’t know”. Remember there are no intern tasks or senior tasks- you are a team and can always pitch in to help

[Veena Devarajan, MD @devarajan_veena]

@casseykoid @DevarajanVeena Aww thanks!!

[Veena Devarajan, MD @devarajan_veena]

So proud of my big bro!! Always striving to be as caring and smart as him!
