#reflectiononrounds - currently reading a book called “Hidden Valley Road,” and a therapist describes resilience as “the right temperament to absorb trauma in a way that still allows you to be open to new experiences, to go through life with armor.”
Attending #reflectiononrounds - I’m looking forward to my week with this team; they are fantastic! No #NestlerQoDay for now bc no students and nobody is on twitter. 🤷🏻♀️
Felt a little like Santa handing out “savegrabbers” that the community made for us #joy
Attending #reflectiononrounds - today we talked about our personal covid positives - what good has each of the team members seen because of the pandemic and quarantine? /1
Attending #reflectiononrounds - sometimes it’s hard to trust my clinical exam over scary radiology images. Anyone else get nervous?

Back when I was an intern, I was chatting with the grandmother of one of my patients.
Her granddaughter was about to begin 9th grade, and she recalled how excited she’d been to start high school herself - but the school was closed.
I was puzzled. I didn’t know what she meant.

On rounds this week
Her: “You by yourself?”
Me: “Yes. Well. . . yes and no.”
Her: “I’m used to y’all coming in here in a big ol’ pack.”
*laughter*
Me: “Yeah. Usually we do. The rest of the team is outside of the door right now.”
She looked to the door. Then back at me.
#reflectiononrounds - This has been a great 2 weeks full of learning and great collaboration. Tell me a piece of knowledge you learned, a skill you gained and an attitude that was changed or reinforced. #team1and2 @rvawellmd @RaslanRasha@TedRader4MD @sebastian_b18
@palettala @rvawellmd @RaslanRasha@TedRader4MD Each day on my IM rotation, I am reminded that I have signed up to be a life-long learner. Getting the practice reps in now and taking in every learning opportunity from our patients with a positive attitude will pay off dividends down the road! #reflectiononrounds
1/4 A late attending #reflectiononrounds - there are so many distractions that can prevent us from being focused and serving our learners and patients. @reflectnrounds
Attending #reflectiononrounds - As I struggle with my knee walking throughout the hospital, I am reminded of the importance of #selfcare when taking care of others. What do you do to refill your cup when your time is limited?

Attending #reflectiononrounds... this quote was shared at today’s Attending Ward Orientation. @VCU_IMRes Team 1 and 2, who will you decide to be over the next two weeks? What kind of physician, teacher, scientist, teammate do you want to be? @palettala#meded#medtwitter
