So proud that my husband went to medical school so he could become a professional comedian alone in my home office.

- On this day two years ago, my perfectly healthy husband had a sudden cardiac arrest in his sleep. I fought back death for ten long minutes with no weapons but my hands and phone. I watched the color change and eventually drain out of his body.
- 10 minutes is a long time to watch your husband dying underneath your hands. I thought about many things during those chest compressions 6 weeks ago. One of them was today.
- Replying to @LGlaucomfleckenThat cardiac arrest didn’t happen in my body, but it very much happened to me, too. Patients are not cases. They are people, who love and are loved by other people. Their lives are often intertwined, impossible to try to extricate into separate bins of “patient” & “not patient.”
- Immensely proud to witness @DGlaucomflecken deliver the commencement address at @YaleMed today. Knocked it out of the park with a message on humor, healing, and humanity in medicine. Who would’ve known where a silly med satire hobby and 3 life-and-death experiences would take us.

00:00 - Replying to @LGlaucomfleckenInstead, we are having a wonderfully normal day loving and celebrating @DGlaucomflecken for all he does and means to us. I will forever be grateful to a stranger named Lisa, the 911 dispatcher who shared those 10 minutes with me and ultimately saved his life.
- I also deleted Twitter, and when I saw he had figured out how to reinstall it and log back in, that’s when I knew he was going to be okay.Lmao my wife deleted TikTok from my phone when I was drugged up in the ICU because she was afraid of what I might do and honestly next to giving me chest compressions, it was the best decision she’s made in the last 7 days
- Monday afternoon. I’m beginning to suspect that ophthalmologist is a fake job. (I mean, anyone who spells their job title like that is clearly overcompensating, don’t you think?) Either that or he doesn’t actually have a job.
- I helped make sure my kids could keep their daddy.this year was rough - brag on yourself a bit :)! what did you accomplish this year?
