Hardest month of my life. I feel dumb daily but that’s learning. The bean fiend that’s me.

Today a small child followed me around in Target on a toy bike. His mom stated “sorry, he doesn’t usually like people”
I responded: “it’s okay I’m a pediatrician, if you’re looking for a new one clearly he likes me!”

Thinking about my personal statement & why I want to do pediatrics is honestly bringing tears to my eyes.
Change begins in the health of our children. Education is key with the parents. Preventative medicine starts with the little ones.
And honestly I’ve never been more sure.

Residency is what you make it no matter where you are. Residency is hard everywhere and you are going to end up where you’re meant to be.

As rank lists open and match approaches, I invite 4th years to hold one a wise statement
“Grow where you are planted.”
You make the most of your residency, learn every day and enjoy the wins.

No way. The way to increase the number of physicians is to increase GME funding and increase residency spots. 7,000 students didn't match this year.
Is it just me, since the pandemic COVID-19 has shaken the world- do you think this impact will change the medschool application process? If so, how? I wonder if medschools are going to look at expanding class size (admission) since there is a shortage of physicians.

Today has been rough emotionally. I really want a good home life, but it’s not, & holidays magnify it bc everyone portrays their perfect families. I pray I marry into a family where holidays are mostly happy
I just need to hit the reset button for tomorrow & hope it goes better.

The plan was we both go to med school.
I followed through. He didn’t.
He’s living at home & working for his family. He looked dishelved and I was in the white coat.

Don't prioritize someone who doesn't prioritize you.
That is all I will say about the matter. Here's to moving forward.
