Pinned
This morning I sewed this scrub cap. This afternoon I wore it while I sewed skin following a cholecystectomy (gallbladder surgery).

- Yes, I am a DO student doing my clinical rotations at a very rural community hospital, but yesterday I put in a central line by myself from start to finish (with very close supervision, of course). #DOproud #gensurgmatch2023
- Today I scrubbed in to and held retractors for a six hour ortho case and never broke sterile field. Oh and I wore lead the whole time. Currently feel invincible 😍 #MedTwitter #surgery #orthotwitter
- Please stop telling me I’m too nice to be a surgeon. The world needs more nice surgeons 🙂🙂🙂🙂 #ILookLikeASurgeon
- S/o to the ortho I’m working with who introduced me to pts “this is Grace she’s a med student.” One immediately asked “what type of nursing” so he started saying “this is Grace, she is a med student about to become a doctor and will be starting general surgery this summer.” 🙌🏻
- How’s my first sub-I going, you ask? Well, yesterday I couldn’t find my stethoscope after a trauma and it was found on a helicopter. I have never been on a helicopter in my life. 😅
- My favorite is when I preround on patients at 530 and they say “do you have a minute? I’d love you show you a picture of my dog.” 🥹 I ALWAYS HAVE A MOMENT FOR PET PICS
- For the first time in my med student career the attending agreed with my pedal edema grading. I feel like I’ve finally made it.
- Today I got to close the peritoneum at the end of the robot hernia. Residency can be pretty cool sometimes 🥰
- when you get out of colonoscopies at 530 but have program dinner at 6
- I've been out of college five years now and found out I matched into general surgery yesterday. Last night had a dream I missed an entire year of cross country practice and was still expected to compete at conference. Does it ever end 😅
- Had a @joshmcgoo moment the other day. Pt: My big toe hurts Me: GOUT. NEXT. (it was not, in fact, gout)
- Officially done with interviews for #gensurgmatch2023 !! If you need me, I will be hibernating until match day. (just kidding I still have to go to work)
