Med Intern, But 6 Feet Apart

FM intern; failing to avoid caffeine tachyphylaxis

[Med Intern, But 6 Feet Apart @IAmAMedIntern]

A med student’s love language:

Words of affirmation: "I know you can do this if you have coffee”

Physical touch: Touching my shoulder to give me coffee

Gifts: Coffee ☕️

Quality time: Spending an afternoon with bae (coffee)

Acts of service: "Got that fresh mug for you!"

“Epidermal inclusion cyst removal” is my favorite procedure, say what you will

Secret confession time:

I love colposcopies! It’s a surprisingly satisfying procedure, little microscopy mixed with a little tissue biopsy

Board exam question writers really be out her like,

“memorize this mnemonic: BUL 123, LCR 735, APP 987... and you should ideally memorize it with the numbers and letters separately, like BULLCRAPP 123735987”

Aren’t medical exams fun?!

@ChrisKennedyEM Meh, over rated 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just give me some HelloFresh meal prep and keep that coffee flowing

Night shifts are the best!

Fewer admin, sleepy patients, calm vibes, and ALL THE SNACKS

@RealMed3 First gen D.O., my parents try so hard to understand but training timeline gets tricky to explain. I didn’t understand residency or know about specialties until med school.

@md_sleepy So far I’ve just been giving them the, “we’re not admitting yet, I have to go discuss with the attending” who then (occasionally) chooses to push back

Also, MTFs are a whole different scenario where hospital stays are “free”

I survived first month of inpatient #familyMedicine

Absolutely fascinating switching from an intubated, sedated sepsis patient to a young rhabdomyolysis dude

Family Medicine is the best medicine

[Med Intern, But 6 Feet Apart @IAmAMedIntern]

Family Medicine.

Because where else will you irrigate an abscess then discuss a Pap test?

@KarenKhangura Military only pays for one and I’m going into family med, so Comlex it is!

[Med Intern, But 6 Feet Apart @IAmAMedIntern]

7 days, 90+ hours, 100 gallons of coffee...

Week 1 of internship: done ✅

[Med Intern, But 6 Feet Apart @IAmAMedIntern]
