What a dumbass, I can’t event put into words how shortsighted this is. Get me out of this place.
Trump just withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. The US now joins Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only countries in the world not in the agreement.

Every female physician felt this in her core.
“I’m a Minneapolis based pilot for Delta airlines.” “Tell me what a typical workweek is like for you as a stewardess.”

One thing I wish I had done throughout med school/residency is keep a running list of all the awesome things I’ve done: difficult diagnoses I’ve made, patients I’ve helped, kudos from attendings, etc. Because my dumbass brain only wants to remember all the times I’ve fucked up

Update on punching patient: 1) they remembered the incident and apologized 2) …only to be followed up with their rationale- they thought I was their sister 🥸 3) reminded myself that pathology (in this case, tumor) does not = person 4) no post-punch treats 🥺
