Is that some new orientation question?

“Sir, what is your name? Do you know what today is? Do you know where you are? Do you know why you’re here—not like, here at the hospital, but like here on earth—what’s your purpose?”

Bc I’ll be A&Ox2, max.

“I can’t believe I’ve already hit the stage in life where I’m so frequently the oldest person present in my OR,” thought the surgeon who graduated high school what was mathematically many MANY years ago.

Pro-tip: when asking for the Fukuda retractor in the OR, it is important to E-NUN-CI-ATE.

It was recently determined at work that I don’t have an “RBF,” I have an “ABF”—an Active B*tch Face. If you’re getting an angry look from me, it’s definitely on purpose.

Going to just stop checking my sleep tracker bc I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life right now

Do you ever look at a patient’s X-rays & think wow I hope my knee looks that good when I’m 80 but you know deep down—like, deep down in between your cruciates—that it already doesn’t look that good & you’re not close to 80?

Oh sure, the deer & the antelope can play but not the horses??

Me, reviewing instructions: “…so, any questions?”

Parent: “I don’t think so”

Me, to peds patient waking up from sedation: “How about you, bud, any questions?”

Peds pt: “No.”

Me: “Ok so I’ll see you nex—”

Peds pt, suddenly very earnest: “What’s your 4th favorite color??”

That won’t happen until March 2, (the) see?

Nothing like a nice drive in the mountains to make a girl feel alive

Yeah I have a lot of problematic takes.

…in the sense that I TAKE on a lot of PROBLEMS that I instantly regret.

Hey, cut yourself some slack—if Sandra Bullock & Melissa McCarthy couldn’t save The Heat, I agree, there’s no way you’ll fix that movie either

Honestly, like there are actual sunshine & rainbows everywhere & all the terribleness of residency was totally worth it bc this horrible world is actually kinda ok & maybe there is hope for the future

Just got a handmade thank you note from a peds patient. Be jealous.

Oh I’m far stranger than they even know

When I first glanced at this I thought it said, “Your soulmate will be stranger than you realize” & that seems about right, knowing the dating options that are still out there at this point in my life

Pretty sure I HAVE stayed in this hotel

When you have a patient with an acutely swollen & painful knee, & the aspirate has crystals but no bacteria on gram stain, so you just watch the cultures without operating, that’s giving it the benefit of the gout.

Ok but who should’ve won the 2015 World Championship of A Capella?

Way more controversy there IMO

You said yes, which seems like a pretty good way of receiving compliments, so good job!

Are we allowed to make you feel better ant yourself?

If so, just know that I relate to this so much that it makes me feel better that I’m not the only one who feels like this

Sibling: I made a burro joke today but it didn’t land

Me: Well duh. They’re not cats, they don’t always land.
