One of the best pieces of advice I ever received- write down 7 adjectives that you want your future patients to describe you as. In what specialty are you this doctor you aspire to be? That’s your calling.

Residency is for learning. If someone doesn’t know something it’s an opportunity to teach. Not 👏🏼 an 👏🏼 opportunity 👏🏼 to 👏🏼 shame 👏🏼

Husband left me the *better* breakfast sandwich for when I woke up post call today. Took my car for errands, came back with a full tank of gas, my fav iced coffee, and the new M&M flavor I said sounded good literally weeks ago. Is he a gem or is he a gem

Unpopular opinion: night shifts rock. Only take care/work up patients who are SICK sick. Also extra downtime to spend getting to know your colleagues. And I can’t be the only one who loves the tranquility of the hospital at 3am??

The surgeon in my OR today started every timeout before a case with “Let’s all close our eyes for a minute and silently reflect on why we’re here.” It was awesome. Would love for this to be the norm

NOT a subtweet. Want to propose maybe, just MAYBE, if you’re upset with your student showing you up it’s more about your imposter syndrome and less about them. Residency is hard but remember med school is arguably harder and it’s our job to support and encourage when we can!

Guys I need to humble brag about this bc it’s one of the best compliments I’ve ever been given I think and I’m giddy. Fellowship interview, PD asks what I think makes a great leader. He said my answer was the best he’s gotten all year. LEADERSHIP & MENTORSHIP ARE COOL & FUN

If you are a medical student, standing anywhere within talking vicinity of the head of the bed, looking lost and/or bored please know I will bore you even more with teaching anesthesia. Word vomit. It just happens.

A surgeon was trying to get my attention today and said “um, anesthesia? I’m sorry I don’t know your name.” When I told him he repeated it back and said thanks. Such a pleasant interaction. IT IS THIS EASY PPL.

Shame is “strongly associated with the tendency to withdraw & hide, deny responsibility, & respond with anger.” + linked with decreased empathy in providers. Respectfully, I would give our learners credit to have the strong desire to learn without using fear as motivation.

How did we let the ABA convince us that we need to pay $2.5k for a test on our skill as anesthesiologists by doing simulations of things we’ve already done IRL and been evaluated on every day for the past 3 years?? Only offered at 1 location that requires airfare and lodging?! 💸

I got to teach a med student about dizziness today after we saw a pt together and it was the best part of my day. Was it unsolicited? Certainly. Did he enjoy it? No idea.
Hmm wait. Was the teaching more for my own fulfillment or his benefit? 🤷🏻♀️😄

Step 1 of preparing a lecture is always, ALWAYS google: “*lecture topic* memes.” And then spend hours scrolling pointless memes without making any actual progress on said lecture. It’s the only way.

Poor excuse for “teaching.” Part of residency is learning to brush off the ridiculousness and take home the actual learning point. Easier said than done.

Why tips?
Anesthesia is a weird rotation (new attendings daily, not a ton of crossover to other specialties). These are the things I wish I’d been pointed towards as a med student.

To specify: this change needs to be accompanied by MANY other changes to make a true difference. The stress/cut throat nature will just shift to other places... step 2, research, clinical honors, or the WORST possible option-school prestige (indirectly, MCAT scores 🤯)
