She believed she could but it was uncompensated, non promotable work she had no interest in so she set a reasonable boundary, protected her time, and said no.
Nakita was a classmate of mine, and an inspiration to all those who knew and worked with her.
She deserved better, and was working to improve the lives of all residents and trainees.
RIP Dr. Nakita Mortimer.
Why do we (doctors) associate more strenuous and grueling training with better? A resident that suffers through a malignant training program is more competent and ‘prepared’ than one with adequate time off, resources and support? I want yaw to kill that narrative. Respectfully ☺️
@jtrebach There is a meme about this... Let me find it. Anyway, I have lived in 3 non-English-speaking countries. Somehow this has dulled all of my nerve endings for being laughed at when I mispronounce a word.
The most difficult part of being an intern was experiencing a heightened awareness of the fragility and preciousness of life and at the same time having to give up so much of my own to the hospital.
Yes, I may be a doctor.... but can someone show me how to sync my music to my video on tiktok🤣🤣
Yes, I've already consulted youtube.

I am once again asking- no, begging attending physicians and residents to please be kind to medical students. Let them go home early, buy them food/coffee. It’s a shame that people have to even be reminded of this nonsense.
Hi Medtwitter! I want to do a project focusing on implicit bias and how it affects patient care(notes, office talk, etc) but need help focusing on a something I can measure and hopefully work towards improving that busy healthcare workers would actually participate in.
