- Replying to @saharbjonesOnce we landed, the other doctor was recognized and given a thank you gift and I wasn’t despite being the one that made medical decisions, and losing 4+ hrs of sleep (overnight flight). This is what being a female in medicine looks like.
- On my flight back home to see family briefly after working such a hard trauma call shift, @AmericanAir asked for a doctor or nurse on board. I stood up after <1 min of nobody else standing up, flight attendant assumed I was a nurse. Few minutes later after stabilizing the patron
- Replying to @saharbjonesAnyways, grateful this lady made it safely off the flight. Grateful I was able to use what I’ve learned to help. Thank God.
- Replying to @saharbjonesA guy sitting directly behind the patron said he also was a doctor (PMR) and could help. He asked what kind of doctor I was and I told him emergency medicine.
- Replying to @saharbjonesTo make sure she was safe, I ended up sitting with the patron for the rest of the flight (she was anxious over what happened). The seat was covered in vomit and I had no problem cleaning it myself
- Replying to @Miazolam and @AmericanAirI’ve heard of a lot of people getting flight miles. That would be so helpful, especially in residency.
- Replying to @MMahon43573 and @AmericanAir@AmericanAir and this was the response. I don’t think I’ll be hearing from them, lol.
- Graduated from Michigan State as a doctor yesterday! Moving to California to train with *leaders* in the field of emergency medicine is such an understated privledge First generation dreams coming true 🥹💚
00:00 - As a first-gen in medicine, it breaks my heart that my dad can't have the honor to hood me during my med school graduation. My success is very much his and I know how much this would mean to him. I'm not sure what kind of message it sends that this honor only goes to doctorates.
- Anyone else catch the Palestinian and Sudan flag during the Super Bowl halftime show #SuperBowl #KendrickBowl #FreePalestine #FreeSudan
00:00 - Pinch me I’m dreaming. I matched at my #1 and ugly cried as a result. So grateful to all my mentors, family, and God. “What God has called for you, He will bring you through” #EMBound @HarborUCLAEM

00:00 - A career in medicine is not knowing what day of the week it is
- I had the honor of having my mentor hood me for medical school graduation. In his years of mentorship of other students, I found out I was the first he had the joy of hooding 🥺🤍 2019 ➡️ 2023
