I respect the decision to maintain the Tokyo 2020 branding for the Olympics…but it has lead to an exponential increase in my veteran patients telling me it’s “2020” on orientation questions after watching TV coverage. #alertandoriented
Naomi Osaka followed in the footsteps of Muhammad Ali, Paavo Nurmi, Rafer Johnson, Midori Ito, Yuna Kim and Wayne Gretzky and lit the Olympic cauldron to cap Friday's opening ceremony.

The vaccine is safe. The vaccine works. As the Olympics begin, let’s lead. Let us be the guiding light for how to vaccinate and care for each other. Let’s live the American dream. #Tokyo2020#GetVaccinatedNow
Some context is warranted for my last tweet…I tested positive for COVID 6 days ago with a bad sore throat and runny nose. Thanks be that all my close contacts have been negative so far and I will probably never know where I picked this up.
I have no regrets about getting vaccinated. If you have questions about blood clots, or fertility concerns, or even just working with post vaccine symptoms (true life: dropped an NGT with a fever from my second dose), I’m here.
Not me crying at 10:30pm watching parade of nations after crying at 9:30am watching parade of nations…I have so many mixed emotions about this Olympiad but cannot deny the joy at seeing these athletes representing their countries. #Tokyo2020#USA
In what feels oddly full circle, my pager button that I broke on my first Duke Gen Med run in July has miraculously fixed itself on Day 2 of my second run. #profound 📟✨
Husband has been sweet and making my morning coffee on my stay-cation this week...figured out this morning he’s been using decaf beans...explains the daily naps! #youtried
Don’t worry friends we’re only halfway there so more is certain to come...would love to hear other silly things folks have done working our crazy hours. #worthit
Experiencing my first round of 28 hour calls as an intern...in honor of that I’m documenting “weird things I did post-call” for everyone’s amusement (actually mostly mine)....
3. Entered a mildly dissociative cleaning spree where I cleaned the same sink twice...missing the same spot both times. I would blame being engrossed in @Sawbones but I had paused the episode...wait for it...to focus. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Had to write a paper prescription during EMR downtime...busted out that high quality middle school girl handwriting to let the nurse know I prescribed that Tylenol with love. #nightshift
