I can't imagine that feeling! Way to go, Leah!!! One of my favorite books ever is "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day." It talks about there being a little bit of a lion chaser in each of us. Leah slayed a lion! Way cool!!!
This pic makes me so happy! I remember my first presentation on the wards...couldn't sleep the night before! LOL. What I would do to have an attending like you...As I become one next year, I'm keeping these things in mind :)
Honestly? I write this blog to share the human aspects of medicine + teaching + work/life balance with others and myself -- and to honor the public hospital and her patients--but never at the expense of patient privacy or dignity.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Details, names, time frames, etc. are always changed to protect anonymity. This may or may not be an amalgamation of true,quasi-true, or completely fictional events. But the lessons? They are always real and never, ever fictional. Got that?
