Anesthetist for the petite patients. Just trying to fit in naps between doctoring and mothering.

@Dr_BellaR It’s a really tough road and I am so sorry for you. I am 34 recently diagnosed with leukemia. We are definitely too young g for this #cancersucks

@doclauravater Calling out sick when they are legit SICK 🤢

It’s almost like giving people weapons of war and then putting them on the honor system isn’t working…

@fuzzymittens Agree!!!! If people want it in the Pyxis for infusion mixing purposes then it should be in a controlled slot. Not in a drawer that you can just open and pull from without pre-selecting the medication

Finally someone has joined me on this hill

Okay, let's review.

Venomous = You GET BIT by something, you might get to ride in the weeewhoo wagon (🚑)

Posionous = YOU BITE something, you might get to ride in the weeewhoo wagon (🚑)

Hope this helps.

To some it is Coronation Day, to others it is Derby Day, to women all over the world it is Hat Day.

A busy life is not a symbol of status. It's a symptom of trying to do too much for too many people.

A full calendar brings a surplus of stress and a shortage of energy. Reflecting and relaxing should be top priorities.

Unscheduled time isn't wasted. It's invested in well-being.

The “accommodation” includes the additional expense of having to transport ourselves (and our toddler) from the new arrival airport that is in a city hours away from our original arrival airport. We would appreciate thoughts and prayers during this difficult time @AmericanAir

Pediatric death from GSW should be a never event

[Wendy Hasson MD @WendyHassonMD]

30 infants die and we recall 4.7 mil Rock ‘n Play Sleepers.

2 toddlers die and we recall 3.2 mil Calico Critters toys.

2 infants die and we recall so much formula that the US goes into shortage.

Last year, over 6,000 children were injured by gun violence.

Nothing. Nada.

Today I saw that a former chief financial officer and prior private equity player was elevated to CEO of a large hospital system.

While I don’t know this individual at all I’m concerned this is not the background we want leading medicine

So proud of both of these amazing anesthesia women on shining a light on an important issue in our specialty

Guess what came in the 📬 today? An early Xmas 🎁 from @ElsevierConnect - my copy of Baby Miller, edited by Dr. Manny Pardo @UCSFAnesthesia. Read our chapter on clinician well-being written by myself and Dr. @LBerenstain (yes I put my 🎄up super early this year!) @gropperUCSF

@GoodishIntent What about albumin???? We have been short for a while and now you have to sell your soul for a 50cc bottle of 5%

[Katharine Bumbarger @kld004]

@jtrebach I give kids my stethoscope so they can play with it and become familiar with it. Then I let them listen to my heart or lungs before I listen to theirs.

[Katharine Bumbarger @kld004]

I learned this lesson the hard way but am so grateful for the people that stuck by me. It’s important to prioritize the people you love ❤️

[Oatsdoc, MD @oatsdoc]

Reminder that your medical degree and/or employer won’t hold you at night after a horrible day or wish you happy birthday or remember your favorite things. Your SO, friends, & family will. Medicine, like everything else, is a job. Sacrificing your personal life isn’t worth it.

[Katharine Bumbarger @kld004]

Rough call nights are a little better when I get to call my favorite curbside consult. Lucky for me she always has to answer my calls. Thanks for your help last night @LBerenstain #WomenInMedicine

#MedTwitter what is your airway perfect storm?
This week I met mine: Pierre-Robin with RSV bronchiolitis in acute respiratory failure 😬

[Caroll N Vazquez-Colon, MD @caroll_md]

Wake up! A case of suspected CCHS in a pediatric patient presenting with delayed emergence. Case was presented at ASA by @MichelleAmyChen. Job well done! @giulianaGRamos @kld004 @BearAnesthesia
