I was taking a manual blood pressure on a seven year old today and she sighed and said “you are new at this, aren’t you?” 💀

Underestimated how often nurses would make me cry in residency

[sleepy resident @medstudentnaps]

Daily complaints:
1) everyone in the hospital except for residents were getting stay pay for the winter storm
2) my landlord sent a company to clear the snow from our lot. They pushed all the snow into my parking space
3) my car battery died

In the first 4 hours of my night shift I was paged 30 times 🙃 several of which were asking me to come explain the day teams plans to families. And had calls while I’m actively doing admissions asking if I can change a (frankly quite ill) childs vitals from q4 to q8. I’m tired

There’s a woman I graduated med school with that is all over social media lying about being a surgeon (she is not enrolled in any residency program)

Went to get my hair cut and she cut off (I am not exaggerating) 4 inches shorter than we discussed. I hate it and have cried about it multiple times. I wanted something to boost confidence, not make it worse.

It didn’t take long for the “I have a heavy heart. We should be able to respect each others opinions🥺👉👈. I’m sad people are mad at me” posts to start. Kelly you voted for a racist, sex offender for the third time. I’m not not going to be mad at you.

My favorite hobby is monitoring the Ed track board the hour before my shift starts and debating calling in

[sleepy resident @medstudentnaps]

I scheduled an appointment months ago, have some things I really wanted to talk about and need some refills, scheduled off work….and the appointment gets canceled the week before. Obviously I know shit happens but I’ve been crying about it for like 20 minutes

I’ve learned so much from the parents of children with complex medical needs.

Ever forget something so basic in front of the med students and they def think you might be dumb?

[sleepy resident @medstudentnaps]

Carried a large # of patients today and ended up with 5 d/c summaries, one of which is a baby who has been admitted for 3 months and the hospital course hasn’t been updated since week of life 1. Already had a breakdown cause I feel unbelievably stupid and this is not helping

[sleepy resident @medstudentnaps]

If anyone is debating doing residency near home I’ve gotten to spend time with old friends, have dinner with my family frequently, go shopping with my mom, attend baby showers of close friends, go to my nephews first birthday party. It’s wonderful.

Finding out I Unexpectedly slayed the ite was a good start to my vacation week.

Reasons for vaccine refusal I’ve heard over the last 3 months

-autism (child already has autism diagnosis - has never received a single vaccine) x4

-mthfr

-“hpv doesn’t run in the family”

My neighbors haven’t put their trash bins out on the proper day in months so all 4 of them are overflowing and the possums and squirrels love to spread the trash to the yards of surrounding homes.

My inpatient attending told me I have an absolutely delightful personality and I will be riding that high for a couple months

[sleepy resident @medstudentnaps]

I always look up exactly what my toddler patients ate most recently before rounding cause it blows their minds when I tell them I can figure out what they had for dinner the night before by listening to their tummy with my stethoscope

[sleepy resident @medstudentnaps]

Lmao today my (extremely nice) attending asked how things are going and how my confidence in myself is and I burst into tears
