First ten weeks of residency down. Really enjoying it tbh, learning so much every day, everyone is really nice so far, and while I do feel like the dimmest lamp in all the land, I am getting better all the time

"rationing by inconvenience": health insurers deny tons of claims -- including retroactive denial after prior authorization -- knowing tons of patients won't effectively appeal @mirandayaver.bsky.social on @cbssundaymorning.bsky.social

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Feeling a little better after a lot of alcohol, a moderate amount of time in the sun, and many therapeutic chats with my unmatched besties. This will pass… it’ll pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass 😔

I wish I had just gone through with my original plan of research year instead of entering the SOAP because the result is the same, but now I have never felt so fucking bad about myself in my life 🙂

Spent an hour walking a med student through how to succeed on their sub-i and it was the most rewarding part of my week. I got to be who I needed as an M4 🥲 just wish I’d had someone do the same for me

One of my proudest moments in medical school was when I stood up for my undocumented patient and got them the care they needed in spite of my bigoted asshole attending. I will never forget it and I’ll never forgive the fact that I had to.

I have a folder on my laptop called “GREAT JOB YOU CHAMPION” and it’s full of good evals from med school, nice emails from friends and mentors, and other things that remind me that I’m doing well even when it doesn’t feel like it ☺️

Hot take but only totally benign or normal findings should go out via MyChart. I’m all for patient autonomy and whatnot but getting a potentially life-changing result on a Friday night and having to wait who knows how long for my surgeon to call me is cruel and avoidable
