Sleepy, MD

Intern. Sleep deprived. Always down for another cup of coffee

Patient kicked me out of the exam room. Granted, he was a year old and "bye bye" is his only word. But he looked like he meant business.

The fact that UWorld wants me to distinguish which of these four untested supplements is messing with the patient's liver is just ridiculous. I cannot wait to be done with the USMLE and UWorld

Proud of my cousin, who’s in this! #WithBidenWeCan

Grateful to know and work together with my Native American friends in creating a beautiful future for the next 7 generations.

I asked my friends to tell me about the America they want to live in. Here's what they had to say. #WithBidenWeCan #IndigenousPeoplesDay

I was down about work, until my family was speechless about how casually I talked about getting ROSC on a patient today. What we do is literally life changing for people. Perspective is huge

@HarkerDavid Rule out SJS

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

Me: “Good news sir, the imaging is back and you don’t have any ischemia going on.”
ICU Pt: “Okay but what about my eye drops?”

Med school: here is how to doctor

Residency: they taught you WHAT

Phases of time off:

1. Recovery - all you can do is lay on the couch, nap, etc.

2. Picking Up the Pieces - laundry, groceries, unpaid bills, unanswered emails, etc

3. Real Rest - you actually feel good enough to do stuff that you like that makes you feel rested

Day off during internship: knowing your headache is due to dehydration from not drinking water all week but refusing to drink anything but coffee that’s not from the hospital

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

@medburnbook Everyone’s had some great advice - you’re gonna do great! I’ll add to “put your money down” on something, be it your diagnosis or plan moving forward. It’s better to be decisive and wrong as a learner than waffle (so I’ve been told lol)

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

One month down, one month to go on the inpatient IM service and I definitely am experiencing the beginning of burnout. Intern year is no joke, y’all.

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

Spoilers: my resident agreed with me, but we took the patient anyways without fighting

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

Serious question: as the intern on the admitting service, how much push back can/should I give the ED on a patient I don’t think requires admission?

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

@bashark_attack I often think to myself, “shoot, pharmacy hasn’t called me yet about med X. Did I actually order it?” Lol

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

Intern year kicked my ass today. Macaroon ice cream sandwiches help.

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

Three weeks into this doctoring thing, and it’s crazy how many people think I know what I’m doing #helpmeimlost

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

@matthewaheard As a current intern, I see the med students and go “shoot, these people know way more than me and I’m supposed to teach them?!”
You’re gonna make it and do great, I promise

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

This 24 hour call thing is getting old already

[Sleepy, MD @md_sleepy]

It’s now officially my birthday, but feels like Match Day, and I’m in quarantine - I’ve not been this drunk in a long ass time
