Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to focus on growing my hair back and getting back to a life where I’m finally the one signing the discharge papers:)

“Nothing humbles you quite like being the person in the white coat to a patient in a hospital gown.”

In January of 2026, I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. For those outside the medical sphere, it’s a chaotic, aggressive monster of a disease, a type of blood cancer.

I’m still the same doctor, but maybe with a little more empathy and a lot less patience for the small stuff. Life is short, and apparently, my immune system decided to give me a very aggressive reminder of that. Lesson received, loud and clear.
