Has anyone else developed the bad habit of looking at the ED list to look for potential consults? 👀

[Emily Armstrong, MD @e_armstrong_]

I am all for patients having whatever they need in their delivery room to make them feel at ease.

However, I would be remiss if I didn't say that my favorite thing by far was when a patient played *only* Taylor Swift and pushed to the "Lover" album. Icon.

*I do care how much pain my patients are in, but it’s not an excuse for hypertension!

[Emily Armstrong, MD @e_armstrong_]

So when do we as a medical community finally all get on the same page that pain/anxiety/etc is not an excuse for high blood pressure? Like it doesn’t matter how much pain you’re in, it shouldn’t be that high!

[Emily Armstrong, MD @e_armstrong_]

@blairwylie Plus less constipation to make the patients happier too 😉

@jfitzgeraldMD Myth: you always need to remove an IUD in a patient with PID

[Emily Armstrong, MD @e_armstrong_]

If anyone still thinks COVID is not a problem, go into a hospital. I've seen so many pregnant patients who are extremely ill be admitted to the hospital, more with each day. Our ICUs are filled up, and there are waiting lists for people who are incredibly sick. This is real.

[Emily Armstrong, MD @e_armstrong_]

We need to talk more about how inductions happen with our patients before they come to L&D. I feel that many more patients will have better experiences with Foley bulbs if we prepare them ahead of time

[Emily Armstrong, MD @e_armstrong_]

Starting next week, I have 7 straight weeks of L&D followed by 4 weeks of L&D nights. Pray for me and my former life of restful sleep 🙏

@jfitzgeraldMD On a gen surg rotation, I told a fellow and acting intern that I was deciding between gen surg and obgyn and instead of saying why to choose gen surg they both just said horrible things about surgical experience in obgyn. I was super shocked especially coming from the MS4

It's the ❌ost wonderful ti❌e of the year.

[Emily Armstrong, MD @e_armstrong_]

Sometimes when I'm feeling like not good at being a resident, I think about how I literally had no clue how to deliver a baby less than half a year ago and now I'm starting to feel like a pro 💪
Think about how far you've come by now. You will get to where you need to be in time.

Hey remember when HPV vaccine was the “controversial” one that the antivax movement swore didn’t work?

They were wrong about that one too.

Just throwing this out there, maybe they just hate vaccines and don’t care about the science.
