As the new crop of trainees start, this is a great lesson/reminder for all of us!

In addition to learning all the facts and procedures, during medical training it's important to learn how:

To ask for help
To take time off
To work as a team
To take care of your human needs

Her: "Why haven't you left for L.A. yet?"
Me: "Huh? Oh. Yeah. I'm pretty much almost done. It's okay."

*silence*

Her: "But, like is it?"
Me: *sighs* "Me rushing there won't change anything."
Her: "Depends on who you ask."

And after that, we both went back to charting.

Nobody every plans to end up on the street in a tent.

But it's so easy.

An emergency occurs: Your: car breaks down, partner dies, hospitalized due to an accident, get sick, get laid off, hours are reduced, the cost of your meds went up, etc.

You miss a couple of paychecks.🧵

[Meera S. Beharry @mbeharrymd]

@MdSheryl Glad that he went back to teaching!

[Meera S. Beharry @mbeharrymd]

@MdSheryl So sad! We need to support people who chose to be parents at all phases of life

[Meera S. Beharry @mbeharrymd]

It’s raining in LA this morning. Kinda symbolic.

I’m running/mostly walking (super clumsy in rain) the half marathon. I’m raising $ for an amazing program for young people experiencing homelessness. Please donate and keep me motivated for my 14 miles!
