@BGalloMarin @StanfordMed @BrownMedicine Welcome to the west coast, Ben! See you in the bay!

As a patient who is the can getting kicked down the road from one specialist to another and is also a physician, I just want to say one thing…

OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS BROKEN.

[Tina Mata, MD @tinamata_]

There are many scams to residency, like working on holidays, but the one that upsets me the most is paying for parking. 😤😤😤😤

A small but enjoyable part about being an off-service intern is passively getting all the tea from the different departments ☕️💅🏽

[Tina Mata, MD @tinamata_]

Me, an off-service psych intern, rotating to a different specialty every four weeks

[Tina Mata, MD @tinamata_]

Not my bank sending a fraud alert for the rent check 😭😭😭

[Tina Mata, MD @tinamata_]

My first day off service, and I left home without my stethoscope 😹😹😹 #psychproblems

@KatyaLavine Never been more happy to be a nespresso user 😹😹😹

My gen z downstairs neighbor’s kitchen sink got flooded a few nights ago with a blockage of eggshells and coffee grounds per the plumber. When I saw her this morning she literally said “who even uses coffee grounds anymore? Are we in the 1900s?” 💀💀💀💀💀

After a month in the Bay Area, I have concluded: brooks are east coast and hokas are west coast 😹😹😹

After over a year of planning and Pinterest boards, I married my soulmate @HoshingRaghuraj Friday night 🪩💖🤠

Good Morning America just doesn’t land the same way for me now that I’ve binge watched The Morning Show 😭

I quit playing music for mostly dramatic teen reasons. After 12 years, I found my way back to a saxophone yesterday, and it was magic. The muscle memory going through scales, my struggling embouchure, the joyful challenge of sight reading an etude and jazz standard. Just 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[Tina Mata, MD @tinamata_]

@meowshal1ah Yes! I’m oscillating between super excited about meeting my corezzies to stressed about moving to sad about saying goodbye

[Tina Mata, MD @tinamata_]

Is post-Match Day blues a thing? Because I’m so proud of all my friends, but also now I have to say goodbye to my med school ride or dies as we move all over the country 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[Tina Mata, MD @tinamata_]

@LatinasInMed Thank your for the support! I matched psychiatry and am moving across the country to begin this new chapter!

@fm_warsame Got me looking at my empty calendar for important dates 😹😹😹

Watching a bake go wrong right in front of your eyes is a different type of heartache. If I were on gbbo, Noel would be coming over to tell me a joke right now 🥺🥲😭
