This morning I sewed this scrub cap. This afternoon I wore it while I sewed skin following a cholecystectomy (gallbladder surgery). • A little late, but happy #internationalwomensday

Yes, I am a DO student doing my clinical rotations at a very rural community hospital, but yesterday I put in a central line by myself from start to finish (with very close supervision, of course). #DOproud #gensurgmatch2023

S/o to the ortho I’m working with who introduced me to pts “this is Grace she’s a med student.” One immediately asked “what type of nursing” so he started saying “this is Grace, she is a med student about to become a doctor and will be starting general surgery this summer.” 🙌🏻

If I could describe residency in one word, it would be “humbling.” Humbling in terms of how little I know at this stage, but also so overwhelmingly humbling to realize the difference even us interns can make in the lives of our patients.
