We couples Matched! From starting undergrad at Rutgers, then leaving for Medical School in Pakistan, life has been a roller coaster. So thankful for all the experiences throughout the way and all the people that helped get me here. From struggling as a scribe to now being an

No way its December 😳

Did my first pericardiocentesis yesterday, still not over it

Finally done with these ✅

Combative patient called me & the brown security guard “Hajis.” We looked at each other—“That’s a good thing, right?” Patient: “Nah, means you’re gonna blow up the place.” We laughed later. Wild shift 😂

Day 1 on PICU… damn, I miss the ED

Can somebody explain to me why when im working a shift in the ER, even in my doc box, im not allowed to have any food or drinks in there (per JCAHO)? Like I can’t leave the ER to get food/drinks so often the only option is to bring something, but I have to leave the ER to consume

Caught my first 👶 10 mins into the start of my OB🤰 rotation this morning. Gtg 2 more otw ✌️

I’ve been on my anesthesia block for the past month, and honestly, I can’t wait to return to the ED tomorrow! I have nothing against anesthesia, but off-service rotations only reinforce my belief that I made the right choice in choosing this specialty.

Congratulations to our newest Ultrasound Fellow, Dr. Miriam Sedrak, MD!

Russ ignited the Nuggets, but y'all are not going to talk about that!
