Classic “watching the med student tie a knot” picture... we’ve all been there, Kyle. He did such a great job on vascular - his very first clinical rotation. We wish him the best of luck as he explores the rest of clinical medicine.

It is also a reminder that we should be thoughtful about what we publish in our journals and the conclusions we draw from them. It’s out there for potential peers, employers and patients to criticize and judge.

Also these Med students didn’t all match in New York - who is training them, covering their malpractice and paying them? Residents don’t even have a full license to practice medicine. They are supervised. Med students are a precious resource that need to be protected.

Knee dislocation is no joke especially when it destroys a popliteal artery. Dr. Chase Kriza, PGY-4 toughed out the midnight into the morning bypass, fasciotomies & subsequent muscle debridements that saved this patient’s leg.

Work life balance - just the tip of the iceberg. Burn out largely comes from being under appreciated & undervalued. This can manifest as unequal pay or treatment. The often unrecognized burdens women have on top of this doesn’t help
Within 6 years of their training:
Nearly 40% of women physicians go part-time or leave medicine
There is a double standard in how we treat women and what we expect from them at work and at home.
This needs to change.
