The most underrated quality in physicians is a sense of humor. It’s a suit of armor against a lot of the problems inherent to medicine.

Here’s a trick for senior residents in training programs that no one will tell you... try putting a retractor in each of your attending’s hands -most will just grab and start retracting without thinking. Boom now you’re the one doing the case.

First day back of elective surgery. Not sure how I feel about it but happy that my list of 50+ people who are having pain will start to decrease. I feel guilty operating when we don’t know what’s going to happen and feel guilty withholding care. Thanks Catholicism.

If you didn’t match at your #1 choice don’t worry about it. You’re going to be FINE! I thought it was the end of the world in 2008. I drank 3/4 of a bottle of champagne and dissected every decision over the past 8 years. In retrospect was the best thing to ever happen to me.

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now but if you reduce and splint a fracture- you need to take an X-ray after.

So I had my first experience going under anesthesia today... it’s very different than what I’ve experienced as the doctor holding the knife. One second I was there and then I wasn’t. Then I was back again. It was a very existential experience. Death and rebirth.

This honker is called an os peroneum and it’s totally normal. It sits in the peroneous longus tendon and usually is harmless. Often misdiagnosed as an avulsion fracture. #MedTwitter
