Checked my ICU list after being gone for a few days for the holiday…

Every single one of my COVID patients died while I was gone. All of them.

#EMbound #match2024 peeps…
Yes, logistics are important. Shift numbers, meal stipends, parking, etc. All important. But I HIGHLY recommend you pay attention to the vibes. Write down how the program makes you feel. Because you deserve energy that makes you feel good.

No one warned me about the post-contract signing cry. Wowza. #grateful

United: “we ran 300 statistical models saying that we can speed up our boarding process by 3 minutes and 12 seconds if we increase the number of boarding groups from 5 to 6”

Southwest: “we’re running our own version of the Stanford prison experiment”

Holy Suits finale… 🔥🥵🤯���️‍🔥

You can be scared.

But do it scared.

The best response to a trainee who expresses ambitious aspirations is "that sounds great, what can I do to help you achieve your goals?".
Not "that's a lot, you're going to have to chose one path."

Can someone make a 6.25 glove because the 6s are too small and the 6.5s too big fml

You know that feeling when you are on the precipice of something incredible? Like you are literally looking at a doorway, with it swung open and all you have to do is walk through?

Takes your breath away…

It’s interview season and am asking letter writers to consider how they describe applicants.

Personality remarks like “quiet but pleasant” are not helpful.

Complacency is the silent assassin of progress. Stay hungry, stay focused, and keep pushing forward. Each step, no matter how small, fuels the fire of transformation. 🙏🏾

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Happy to see harmful, anti-competitive, profit-centered practices like private equity ownership & consolidation discussed at medical conferences like #ACEP23. Physicians and their specialty organizations need to be a constant bug in the ear of government officials on these issues

Hey there, friend! Let’s do this!

[Ascension Macomb-Oakland EM Residency @AMOHEMResidency]

Whoa, things look different around here! It's about time we entered 2023. @sailingkateMD, can you show me the ropes?

[KP, MD @sailingkateMD]

Long time, no see. So wonderful running into so many of you at ACEP this year! I might just have to jump back into this no-longer-bird app. Cheers! <3

[KP, MD @sailingkateMD]

Checking in on NYEE to say I’m doing alright, I’m healthy, and looking forward to 2023. If this year sucked for you too, then grab my hand and let’s do this next lap together. Day by day. 💛

Me 🤝 texting people back in my head and forgetting I didn’t actually text them

Apple Watch passive aggressively asking if I’m working out while running around the ED during a busy shift is unnecessary

[Kent DeLay @kjdelay1]

We should all be terrified by current healthcare staffing

We should be beyond terrified how many more are looking to get out

@adhdjesse Night-before routine. Clothes always out, hair/makeup etc. down to the scoop of protein in my blender. The less decisions I have to make in the morning (pre-meds) the better my day goes! And wearing shoes all of the time I need my brain working. It just works for me 🙌🏼😬

[KP, MD @sailingkateMD]

Said this on shift three days ago! Best prep ever.

[Amy Lasky, MD @AmyLaskyMD]

what if I’m just tired of being resilient
