Shoutout to the person who I tried to be helpful to by printing out a list for them to use during patient signout who responded ‘Don’t worry, I’ll print it *correctly*’ when they found out I hadn’t printed it in the orientation they preferred.

My typical view at like 4 am. After all, it’s only 1 hour before her breakfast time, so close enough as far as she’s concerned.
Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.
Excuse me, but where is the canele update? 🤷♂️
A picture of a tree lined Chicago cityscape seen from a pedestrian overpass very far above the street below (where the caffeine is at).
Chicago upside: unexpectedly finding this view.
Chicago downside: you only found it because Apple Maps said this was the way to the nearest coffee shop, but failed to mention you’d have to jump over the railing and fall 100 feet to get there.
Just outbid by a small studio apartment, no biggie.
Hm, wonder how the part about ‘micro-assessments’ via a phone app after individual patient encounters is envisioned to work for inpatient-focused subspecialties.
Glanced quick and thought it was a blood pressure and was like, ‘No, 9/10 would NOT be a good BP for anyone.’
Good lord, this is accurate.
(Disclaimer: we cannot vouch for how well it works, as I have an aversion to vomiting something that would taste like minty vaporub while on opium.)

Oh no. 😟
999/11 is truly the ideal BP.
Don’t put a needle into those realistic pulsing arteries near an open flame I guess.
Maybe this SIM mannequin is, like… a repurposed kerosene stove at the core? 🤷♂️

Great - now I’m trying to figure out what you could make from anchovy, apple, almonds, and some acorns. Suppose since we get to use agar agar, could just turn it all into a terrifying sort of jello mold?
Well, I know what *my* attitude is when this sort of thing happens. And you’re welcome to join me.
Can confirm that, as a molecular biologist, I have only heard *descriptions* of this scene and it has still traumatized me.
