I like to highlight the hilarious in medicine as I write about patients, medical school, residency, medical missions, and whatever else strikes my fancy. Oh yeah, and I like to use GIFs!
And for the 5,000th time, let me clarify that I am female.

What’s new? I got a new kind of ice cream at the grocery store this week. My dog did a funny thing the other day I guess. What am I supposed to say? All I do is work.
the best good friend laments on phone conversations with family during residency. She has a point for sure.
I feel like our conversations always end with “hang in there”.

More god-dog posts! I god-dog for my best friend who is in law school, and she does the same for my doggie. It works out great because our schedules are very different, so we can fill in the gaps for each other.
I got a text from my god-dog a few minutes ago (via my best good friend). She forgives me, but says that the picture makes her butt look big.
May I request a post on the craziness that is Residency Interview Season??? Any tips or things to NOT DO are highly appreciated. - anon
DO:
- Order something fabulous at dinner. It’s FREE. If they offer apps/zerts, say YES.
- have a basic list of questions to ask at every interview (not stuff you can find on the program’s website—stuff about resident life, where residents live, program-specific things, curriculum, elective opportunities, etc). People are going to ask you every 10 minutes if you have any questions. Having some questions makes awkward pauses in conversation much less… awkward.
- remember that everyone you come in contact with on your interview is probably evaluating you in some way
- a dry run from hotel to residency program the night before the interview so you don’t get lost and so you can plan enough time to drive.
Being a doctor is cool. I’m still in my PJs.
noontime text from the best good friend
I trust you…only because you won the “good person” award.
the best good friend, asking my opinion on furniture from IKEA.
Well I was in the bathroom and I passed some blood and mucus and my cousin saw it and told me to come get it checked out.
from a patient of my Best Good Friend.
I’m sorry, but how did your cousin come about seeing your stool? Was there a “hey, come look at this” moment? Or was the cousin present for the passing of said stool? I’m not sure which is worse.
