I am more proud of this loaf of bread than I am of my Masters degree

As someone who is very afraid of space, I do feel like we moved on from the meteorite kind of quickly

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

Most of the time the scary is a hernia repair or a broken arm.

Today it was big and I’m so grateful to give even a second of comfort to patients and families during their big days

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

I never not feel lucky for my job and to walk along kids and families on their scariest days

Andrea has ringworm pass it on

I get to see my favorite band with my best friends tomorrow for the first time in two years and it’s a bone deep excitement

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

I have not felt American pride since childhood but the World Cup is making me hopeful that the world might see that so many of us HATE the regime we live in, and most are kind, caring, generous people that care about the wellbeing of others

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

I don’t know how you can be human and not fundamentally love other humans

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

Sometimes I think about my nephews as adults and revel in the fact that I get to know and love every version of them

Take the sadness out of Saturday night

bleachers in 3 days

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

Me telling a new anesthesia resident that he couldn’t poke a 5-year-old & him getting all upset and frazzled:

In the OR:
The attending: “how long have you done pedi?”
Resident: “2 days”
Attending: “move” + attending promptly making
resident stand back & watch induction

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

And the fact I have 2 more perfect little best friends who are a week from turning TWO? Luckiest auntie in the universe

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

I love Ben so much that my heart could burst

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

She went “you’re translucent so it’s easy to see” 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

I told an anesthesia resident today that I never had an IV and she snatched my arms and started looking at my veins

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

HOWEVER a patient I met before who had a very hard time did lightyears better today and even on the worst days I love working in healthcare (even when I’m scrubbing marker off my toys and the wall because of a parent who dgaf)

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

I had a fucking terrible day at work but I also sat and talked shit with my favorite attending for like 30 mins instead of taking a lunch break so there’s that

[retired mean girl @mjmac822]

We were literally fighting for our lives today together (she delayed an anesthesia induction until I was out of a different induction for me 🥲) and another child life specialist brought us both iced tea because we were Not Doing Well
