Friends, I am donating my left kidney in a few months to whoever may match with me at the top of the transplant waitlist. It would mean so much to me if you could read about my motivation, and consider donating to a local kidney organization.

I know I haven’t talked about the cancer story on here before but just wanted to say I’m SO forever grateful that people still remember. People will forget about me, but they will always remember the message. Check your skin. Say something (even if they’re on the other team) 💙

The NP continued to push back at my mom saying it was probably okay, “due to her playing tennis, and that they didn’t need an XRay. My mom advocated and they finally took one. Got a call that, yes, she does have scoliosis and now has a follow up with an orthopedic doc.

I was a CNA before med school. Regardless of your role in the field, you’re responsible for providing the highest level of care that you can. A patient isn’t scheduling an expensive appointment with you and waiting weeks/months, to be laughed at and told they’re imagining it
