After 13 years of embarking on this journey, I’m officially a Harvard trained EM Attending! I wouldn’t be here without the full support of my parents, who sacrifice so much to get me here . From our humble beginnings to now the first physician in my family, I did this for them..

Someone (not even security) asked me for my ID as I walked into the ED… but no one else around me was asked. 🙄 shoved my ID at his face and said “I’m one of the doctors ” TGIF

Highlight of my night...80yo telling me she doesn’t want to take oxy cause she doesn’t want to become a hippie..”then I’ll say where are the cool cats at?” **waves hands as below** 😂😂 i died of laughter.

Wise words from my senior (@davidtoomeyMD) as I told him about my day and how I manage to stay calm as a kiddo desatted... he said ED docs are ducks... calm above the water while you paddle like crazy under the water.

Intern growth. When consultants are rude and I’m just silent as they huff and puff, like get it out ... “so let me know what you think when you see them, bye”

Decided to go on a fasted run before work cause it was 70F. Then of course I end up running late and couldnt eat. But God is working in my fav, first thing my attending said when I walked in was “we don’t have anyone, go eat”. #HEswatching #wellness

Today I actually had a moment during my shift where I gave myself a compliment. “Wow, you are growing, you def know some stuff now” because it’s a new year, and as an intern it’s easier to just put yourself down than give yourself grace. Give yourself a compliment today!

I painted for the first time in a while, I forget how much I enjoyed other hobbies outside of netflix and sleeping 😅

Why HAEMR? Because we talk about how we can improve as providers. Today’s conference was dedicated to health equity. I learned more on how to stand up for myself and others when experiencing microaggressions.@EMRES_MGHBWH #RepresentationMatters

Today my patient cried and screamed as I attempted an ALine, she said I only had two tries.. I failed. When I ask the second yr to help, she said “Don’t you ever give up, you’re not a quitter, you keep trying.. I’ll be fine even if I’m screaming” thank you, my pts keep me going.

When your senior on shift is a badass and Latinx, and you can finally see what you hope to become one day 🙏🏽

The evaluation of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is a simple non-invasive procedure that can help asses elevated intracranial pressure. ONSD is measured 3 mm posterior to the globe of the eye. Normal width is <5mm. #FoAM4Cook

Hemoptysis is pretty scary but always remember your ABCs first to asses pt status. Next differentiate between massive vs non-massive hemoptysis. Massive hemoptysis is variably defined as pulmonary bleeding of somewhere between 100 to 600 mLs in a 24hr. #FoAM4Cook

Do you know the difference between a felon vs paronychia? This sketch on google sums it up well haha #FoAM4Cook
When a peritonsillar abscess is present, insert an 18g needle with guard into the superior pole of the abscess, moving to the middle and inferior poles if no purulent drainage is obtained at the superior pole. #FoaM4Cook @CookCountyEM
