When I get back from our upcoming (short) vacation, I'm going to count how many days I've actually taken off this year. It will not be nearly enough. I can't do it today because I'm working. 😒

Robots will not: - Notice the subtle exam finding that clenches the dx - Understand when families are ready to hear more bad news and when it's time to take a break - Get the tricky LP that's mostly feel and a little faith - Order a test based on vibes and be 💯 right. Glad I went to medical school

Words cannot describe how much I despise this person’s contempt for how hard real scientists work It’s the kind of attitude you can only get from inheriting a fortune from an Apartheid era emerald mine finance.yahoo.com/sectors/heal...

When I went to college, all discussion-based classes, a classmate pointed out my Southern accent. I wanted people to listen to what I was saying and not how I was saying it (and not assume I was dumb). So I started avoiding heavy accent words and imitating those around me. Now I sound boring...

People are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you

It's prep day. Kickoff in 15 min. Observations so far: I think a day of NPO would be easier than clear liquids. Drinking as much today as I usually do in a month. I'm already tired of Gatorade and Italian ice. Ramen broth >>>>> chicken broth Grocery store ONLY sells red and orange premade Jello. 😒
