When they said "You'll learn more your first year in practice than any other year of medicine," I didn't expect #COVID19 😳
New mantra: A good call day is a call day with a good attitude…not one when I don’t have to do any work 😂
“Pro-Life”…

Parenting status update: plant babies dying one by one 🥀 human baby thriving 👶🏽 #Priorities #BabyScalpel
Got the (logistically) worst of all consults on my third and last day of weekend call: patient was NPO for CT, has an abscess, but was allowed to eat immediately after CT. Now it’s a Monday add on…when I’m supposed to be off for the day!

Me, wearing portable breast pumps in the OR: “I have got to take these suckers off!” #SurgeonMomLife
Going back to work next week and having all the feels 😭 seeking survival tips: emotional/physical/organizational/anything. I’ll be breastfeeding and pumping.
#BabyScalpel is 3 months old. I was able to extend my leave to 14 weeks and will be part time for the first few weeks. Fully aware that to my US tweeps, this is the peak of privilege…and to my international tweeps, probably appalling 😂
Today I took one look at my (not yet fussing) baby and knew they needed a nap. What’s your superpower?
Things I didn’t expect about parenting #126: how many times a day I ask #BabyScalpel “are you done with the poops?” as though I expect them to answer 😂
