Unclear how to explain to my non-medical partner how tired I am mid-year as a medicine intern 🫠

Starting my morning off by telling my partner over coffee why books like From Blood and Ash, Throne of Glass and ACOTAR are socially important in a patriarchal society

Currently being ruined by #kingdomofash for the second time in my life ❤️‍🔥

Overfilling my cup while I have the time on outpatient #internyear

Me, sick, being called in to cover for my colleagues night float shift who is also sick (I am sick and on sick coverage)

Finally able to make my grandmas gingersnaps this year and Hans, my partner, IMMEDIATELY:

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

My holiday plans: - boil potatoes until fork tender - steep garlic and rosemary in milk - combine in bowl with enough butter to satisfy you on an emotional level - mash

Hanging at home with the beans today, exhausted but grateful for these two

Thanks, science @cclaremdmph.bsky.social @arghavansallesmd.bsky.social @thanhneville.bsky.social

When you need to break the intern yr rules and carry the whole team alone and teach the med student on your seniors off day *every week* bc the attending won’t help and hits you with “well I don’t write notes or place orders either, that’s the residents job.” #justVAthings

I had a patient today break down crying because he felt like most physicians don’t believe him when he says he has pain as a Black man and… I said I believed him and wanted to solve this with him. We need to do better. #MedSky

Residency Friendsgiving #2. Glad I found my ppl

Playing the micro aggressions edition of Cards Against Humanity (but it’s Cards Against Microaggressions) at #UMNinternalmedicine IMED from @cudeptofmedicine.bsky.social and as as CU alum I feel proud 🫶🏻

A lot of AOCs appeal is simply the contrast of wondering why she (rightfully) gets pissed off about stuff but hardly any other elected official in the party does

Looking for more #UMNSky #MedSky ppl to connect with that I’ve missed in the transition between platforms. Intern at UMN interested in hospital medicine, palliative and addiction, history of medicine, and street medicine! Who’s out there?

Name a better qualified doctor than Dr. Oz.

The perfect ratio of unread books you own to books you should buy is WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE BUT BUYING BOOKS IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA.

After 15 hours at the Mpls VA today I had a quick dinner of Ritz cheese crackers and have now collapsed into bed 🫡 stay tuned for more exciting times

Me using three different desktop applications to work a day on VA wards

Anesthesiologist Surgeon

I also think it really hit me this AM while sleepily reading the news that Trump wants to…. ???get rid of the department of education??? I…. What? Are we simply going to…. Not educate people? We already are not great at doing that equitably as a country. So what, we just… take it away?

Made a tofu bake (instead of an egg bake) to meal prep for VA wards for this month and… hot damn ya girl slayed it.

I need more than 4 songs on this Bon Iver EP. I need an LP. I need 3 LPs. Preferably made in a cabin in the woods in Wisconsin.

There’s really nothing better than a work out that exhausted you followed by a good shower, comfy sweats, a good book and cuddling the dogs

Figured it was time to make the switch over to #MedSky from #MedTwitter. Hello folks! UMN IM PGY-1, interested in health equity and medical humanities, art in medicine, HMED, and lots of stuff outside the hospital!
