I have been having nightmares for weeks about this day - it feels surreal that I matched anesthesiology!!!!! Can’t wait to see where friday but I know I will be happy anywhere!!!!

Ever think misogyny in medicine is long gone? Take a look at this tweet. A full doctor shaming women for asking for mentorship in a male-dominated field.

I am not the best standardized exam test taker. AT ALL. But… I made it through Step 1 & Step 2. I learned a lot throughout medical school, & improved a ton.
This 🧵 is for anyone in medical school who struggles with exams:

Before my last final exam, I found out that my childhood friend, who is also a first year med student, died by suicide. Just a reminder to check in on your friends, especially now during this time. ♥️
my sister and I have been thinking that the Bachelor Joey has jaundice this whole season and we just found out he actually has Gilbert’s syndrome which makes me like him even more (can’t explain why)

I have never worked out more in my life bc i’m so nervous waiting for match day. I’ve tried cycling, boxing, hot yoga, pilates, trapeze yoga, rowing, pickleball 😀 🫠🫨😵💫
I remember when I told my premed advisor that I wanted to go to Ohio State for medical school. She told me I wouldn’t get in because I took the MCAT 2x and “wasn’t going to improve.” I took it a 3rd time, improved my score a ton, and got into Ohio State
Happy day in the Lysandrou household!! My dad who’s been on the frontline since March, taking care of and intubating Covid patients, got vaccinated today. go Dr. Plato!!!! So proud of him ❤️
First day @ Nationwide Children’s today for my internship... I feel so much happiness & hope 😊 Talking to my fellow about the amazing field of Cystic Fibrosis makes me sooo excited to contribute. 💓
I’m sooo incredibly proud of my dad, he is the first anesthesiologist to ever win the Part 2 Excellence in Education award at

Mixed feelings about ERAS & Central app submission. Feel so much anxiety but also so relieved to be done and submitted. I cannot believe I made it this far. 💕

As students are starting their first year of medical school, I thought I’d put together a 🧵of advice that helped me get through my first year, and things I wish I knew:

My brother is the best.... he sees me struggle every day in med school but always encourages me to keep going. He couldn’t be with us for Christmas bc of Covid (he’s in LA) & got me these headphones to remind me to keep pushing through. 😭 So special to me! love you

Hey
@AAMCtoday
, now is the perfect time to go back and make Step1 optionally pass/fail for the class of 2022 and later. Exam dates are being pushed back, & exam centers are closed. I can’t imagine the stress that they are experiencing right now. Please consider!!!
@WendyHassonMD
Her post is meant to inspire women in med. Not necessarily that you can do every single thing on your plate. Many people tear women in medicine down for working hard and also enjoying life as a female. Her post is showing that you can do both & tear down the patriarchy 💕 ✨
Insanely proud of my brother

My Yiayia, my greek grandmother in Cyprus, passed away with Parkinson’s two years ago. To see patients at our patient panel this morning fully recover from parkinson’s due to Deep Brain Stimulation was wow...neurology & medicine are amazing 🧠
Feel super lucky to have a mentor that texts & checks in on me, especially while I’m studying for boards & I feel like times are rough. I appreciate you so much

I keep having flashbacks to high school me and I have to remind myself that she would be so proud of me right now and how far I’ve come even if I feel so nervous heading into residency applications
No one talks about the absolute paranoia you have between certifying your rank list and match day— i am so nervous that i messed something up with the ranking system lol
