In September, I won the Undergraduate Narrative Award for Palliative Medicine. Today, I'm in my last week of electives on Palliative Care! It has been a privilege to be part of end-of-life care as a medical student. Thank you @CMAJ + @CSPCP_SCMSP for supporting student writing!

What a treat to see this on my explore page! Dr. Lacombe is a powerhouse in animal physiology and undergraduate teaching. She is also one of the reasons I am in medical school today! Congratulations Dr. Lacombe; your students are so, so lucky to have you!! 💐

One of my favourite anesthesia moments has been realizing it's spelled "Bair Hugger" and not "Bear Hugger." It could always be worse I guess - technically... "Bare Hugger" would've fit pretty perfectly, too.

As a med student, I will absolutely forego breakfast if I’m late enough. Forgetting to feed a tamagotchi though?! Absolutely not, don’t even think about it.

[Giuliana Guarna @giulianaguarna]

I need everyone to know that my staff doctor bought me a tamagotchi because yesterday we joked it would be good for my wellness and today she showed up with this !!!!

"In Canada, it [Komagata Maru] is a reminder of a policy of exclusion and racism."

My grandfather told me the story of the Komagata Maru when I was still a kid. It is a heavy one, but one I and many other Sikhs and immigrants carry with them every single day.

[City of Vancouver @CityofVancouver]

What was the 1914 Komagata Maru incident?

Listen to passengers’ descendants and families tell the story of what happened this #KomagataMaruRemembranceDay.

"medical students expand their vocabulary by learning thousands of new words every year!"

The pinnacle of the student experience is re-reading your email 30 times to make sure you hit the right balance of polite + professional...and then forgetting to send the attachment.
