You are a brave woman! My eldest has a sleepover every year for his birthday party, and I joke that his parties each take a couple of years off my life. :)
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?
Oh lord, been there! Those rambunctious parties wore me out, but the kids sure loved them. Enjoy the magic, and the quiet when it's over :)
