WEBSTER.
I personally don’t know any WEBSTER in my life.
I’m overwhelmed at how God works.
Just really overwhelmed.
His surprises are indeed surprising.
.. feeling grateful
This was one of my favorite pictures from over the weekend at ACC with my wife, Saloni.
I remember when I first started talking to her during my second-year of medical school, I told her I wanted to become a cardiologist, mostly because I loved the cardiovascular system, and admittedly partly because I thought it sounded like the coolest field in medicine and wanted to impress her as well.
At that time, when I was studying for Step 1, it seemed nothing more than a far-fetched dream. As time progressed (and feelings of imposter syndrome appeared), I started to develop self-doubts about my ability to make this dream into a reality. Most of these doubts were conscious, but I feel that they creeped into my subconscious beliefs as well.
In the early stages of residency, I started thinking about other career choices, including Hospitalist and Endocrinology. My wife and I had one important discussion during PGY2 in which she gave me an inspiring talk and took me back to my dreams when I had met her 4 years before. This catalyzed an undetermined focus to match into Cardiology over the following year. This talk started me on a new career trajectory. In retrospect, I would not have been here at ACC as a second-year cardiology fellow without her support, belief, and guidance.
In the medical journey, remember you are never alone, although sometimes it may feel like it. Utilize the support of parents, siblings, physician (and non-physician mentors), spouses, friends, to help to see your potential, especially at times when you may not see it! Sometimes it is important to have reminders of your potential that others see in you! One conversation or moment can help re-ignite the passion that can become dimmed by the beast of a field that is Medicine.

Nah bro you don’t understand. OWASS are forever going to use this on Prempeh. “We used a form one boy to beat you”
If they win the contest it’ll even be worse. This is the type of thing you hear and think it was a lie but we’re seeing it before our very eyes.
OPOKU WARE SCHOOL!!
Deus Lux Scientiae - God is the light of knowledge and no Demon can quench it!
Finals for the SANTAMERICA boys!

Trolling Prempeh is hard because I don’t have a lot of things to troll them on and my tweets are predominantly English based so it’s just a waste of time.
