Low-fi Bollywood music, noise-canceling headphones, and a nice hot coffee while making your own Anki cards is a therapeutic experience. 🙂

Ok therapeutic might be an exaggeration but it does make it a lot more fun 😂

@kenamikaze This is key 🔑!!

Here is the current read during winter break. I am excited for this one! @LisaSandersmd

Something a close friend of mine who is also pre-med said struck me. They said that regardless of the outcome, the person they became in this process is something they will keep forever, and that is such a beautiful way of looking at it.

Save the date for next year’s @sbmedicalorg conference!

My first publication as an undergraduate! I owe all thanks to my professor, Dr. Luba Yammine at UT Health, Houston. Her professional and personal guidance was pivotal in this accomplishment.

I am beyond excited and hopefully many more to come!

Not to mention it will help you earn better scores, be less frustrated, less burnt out, less annoyed, and many more benefits. It is ALL about perspective :)

To all my fellow pre-medical students out there, I know some pre-med prerequisites may seem like they are only there to "weed you out," but if you maintain a positive attitude and see how they relate to medicine, you'll have more fun! #premedlife #positivity

I'm letting y'all know I have gotten extremely good at drawing hexagons.

To all my fellow peers in medicine,

What made you choose the specialty you are in right now, and are you happy with the specialty you have chosen? Please let me know if you feel comfortable.

Since my last post focused on Dr. Kalanithi, an accomplished neurosurgeon and remarkable human being, I want to cover topics related to neurosurgery for the next few posts.

If any neurosurgeons or neurosurgical residents see this, I would love to know what your life is like.

[Husein Alibhai @huseinalibhai1]

There is a lot one can learn from When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. His quest to understand the dynamic of life and death and how he continued to care for both his family and patients while battling cancer. A truly inspiring story.

Attending: What’s the drip?

Me: These are my midnight blue Figs scrubs that I’m rocking with sky blue AllBird tree pipers and a light plume gray Patagonia vest!

Attending: No I mean what is running through that patient’s new IV?

Me: Oh that’s heparin.

Attending:

Me: Sorry.

Memorial Hermann’s Heart & Vascular Institute is so pretty. I’ve been inside and the elevators are also really pretty. 🫀

Dr. Bean is a good organic chemistry professor and I stand by that 😤

Today was a tough one. Little baby girl comes in for “recurrent UTIs”. Parent is frustrated because she’s been to ER multiple times this year when these symptoms started where she’s given antibiotics & sent home. But symptoms always come back - belly pain, pain in urination,…
