Take away fear
Take away the fear of failure
Take away the fear of rejection
Take away the fear of loneliness
Take away the fear of insignificance
Take it all away
please…
On repeat…good thing my roommate is away for a month on his rotation
- Entering the hospital before the sun comes up and going home after the sun goes down is depressing…
- Many times I find myself asking why…
- I saw Tetralogy of Fallot, Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return, and a double SVC all wrapped up in one little newborn on ECMO. I dare you to find a more complicated congenital heart disease. And yes, only you medical students will appreciate this. The newborn probably won’t make it…
- I can barely handle four days of night float. I don’t know how I’m going to handle 28-hour shifts every four days as a resident…
- I’ve passed out in front of roughly 80% of all my attendings, we’ll see how that reflects on my grade report…
- One of my interns is mad cute…haha…too bad she’s married…
- There is a girl with what is called anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. Have you ever seen the exorcist? Well, then you can imagine how this girl acts in her room…
- Can you imagine me as an ER doctor? An Asian George Clooney if you will…
- My attending in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit is this Chinese lady (I think she’s Chinese…she looks Chinese) who’s mad freaking smart. But she looks like a mix between Elmo and Bert. I have to try so hard not to laugh when I look at her…
- I saw my first death in the hospital. I saw a mother watch her son die. A parent shouldn’t have to watch their child die…
- Pediatrics is not for me…
- That’s it.
Forget K-pop star
It’s raining men…all up in The Voice (of Korea)
NO WAY
awesome
THIS KID IS SICK NASTYYYYYYYYYYYY
Watch him go crazy from 2:25 on
His Skrillex remix is mad good too
“In most cases, obesity stimulates statural growth and leads to tall stature for age…Obesity typically advances bone age and leads to early puberty.”
Shouldn’t have eaten so many big macs and chicken nuggets as a kid..damnit
Today was my very first day of rotations
Today I started in Pediatrics in the Newborn Nursery
Today I held my very first newborn
Today, while holding this newborn, I had a flashforward(?) to my future as a father
Today I freaked out
Today I realized that parenthood can wait
::
I really want my firstborn to be a girl. I want her to greet me at the door and jump into my arms when I come home from a tired day at work. I want to dress her in 한복’s and parade her around the other church parents so they become jealous of how pretty she is. I want to threaten and crush the courage of all the little boys that try and win her over. I want her to take care of her younger brother and soften him up while I harden him into a man. God, please let my daughter be pretty. You can make all my sons butt ugly but let my daughter be pretty.
I’m too sucked into 해를품은달…
“Do not measure the love of God for you by how much health, wealth, and comfort He brings into your life…Measure the love of God for you by how much of himself He gives you to know and enjoy through it all”
