Hello from parental leave (and leaving the house 🤪)

[Sophia Yapalater, MD @syapalaterMD]

A beautifully written, honest and true essay by @cameron_baston - a mentor not only in medicine/PCCM, but in how I want to walk in the world.

[Cameron Baston MD @cameron_baston]

I started writing this more than a year ago. I’m in a much better place now, but it felt important to put these words out there, to share what feels unfortunately common.

Thanks @RanaAwdish for making it possible.

Hopefully it’s helpful to read.

This is it @bharatbalan, we have PEAKED!!!

In all seriousness though, POCUS training has been one of the best parts of residency (as was getting this 3d printed trophy)

[Cameron Baston MD @cameron_baston]

@PennIMResidents make sure you congratulate @syapalaterMD and @bharatbalan on their awards! Sophia FOR #POCUS catch of the year and Bharat for racking up more than 100 logged studies in one year!

Trophies complements of my new prusa 3d printer.

[Sophia Yapalater, MD @syapalaterMD]

@trans_RN Sooo true. Hopping on the train to remind you that you are extremely competent ;)

[Sophia Yapalater, MD @syapalaterMD]

@elllebele @PennIMResidents @PennPulmonary 💫💫💫 I say the same about you, ID queen

[Sophia Yapalater, MD @syapalaterMD]

Thank you so much, @marylpennpulm! This resident feels pretty darn lucky to be learning from and supported by you and the incredible people at @pennpulmonary and @PennIMResidents

[Maryl Kreider MD MSCE @marylpennpulm]

So some lucky pulm fellowship will ultimately get to claim her (PDs keep an eye out) but we at @PennPulmonary will proudly support this resident for now. @syapalaterMD presents on soliciting goals of care in the ED setting. Pretty cool. @PennIMResidents

And yes, the spelling of babies is intentional

[Sophia Yapalater, MD @syapalaterMD]

Babies’ first #ATS! Thank you @AuriemmaKatie and @k8courtright for your truly incomparable mentorship and @aclong111 and @DSullyResearch for facilitating such an energizing discussion!

1⃣HFNO ≥30 L/m
2⃣SpO2/FiO2 ≤315 & SpO2 ≤97
3⃣Ultrasound diagnosis of bilateral opacities
4⃣Consideration for resource-limited settings

But it's hard to know the consensus process from one-page abstract🤔

Extremely proud of my penn house staff family, and this vote that gives a resounding YES to a better future - for housestaff, for patients, and for healthcare

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

In a landslide victory, the residents and fellows of @uofpenn voted 892-110 to become the first housestaff union in Pennsylvania. 💜💪

A day was had by all, solved immediately by cookie cake

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Every worker deserves a union.

Proud of the residents & fellow physicians of @PennMedicine who are unionizing with @cirseiu.

I stand with you. ✊

[Sophia Yapalater, MD @syapalaterMD]

@trans_RN ITS TRUE

@ASanchez_PS @ROKeefeMD @Mark_Heslin @bharatbalan @lukasronnerMD @EdanZitelny @ALiebermanMDPhD @DoctorBreanne @MatthewHoMD @ClementLeeMD @Sophia_Hayes_MD I love @ClementLeeMD approach to hypoxia- it’s been a big hit with interns, and it was helpful to me to have a truly clinical algorithm when I was learning to run rapids!
