The @ACOS_MSS mini conference that Iāve been planning for LECOM-B came to fruition today. Lots of fun skills labs to break up our exam studying. Thankful for great participants and surgeons/OMS3s
Preparing as best I can for starting residency in July (aka; endurance training so I donāt embarrass myself during anti-gravity rounds)
Itās 12:25am and Iām refreshing my email ājust incaseā they sent it early š¤¦š½āāļø #match2026

As someone who completed a 5 year surgical residency, normal people donāt quit when theyāre 6 months from finishing unless thereās a major red flag. Additionally, people with those red flags shouldnāt be surgeon general.
Iām starting to realize I may not love sushi as much as I thought and that I really just need a reason to have spicy mayo
Btwn 1985 and 2015 a study (that controlled for experience, team performance, etc) showed white coaches were ~ 2X as likely to be promoted than underrepresented coaches. Still, some teams treat the #RooneyRule as a checkbox and some fans disapprove of this measure of equity.
Sharing my appreciation for @AmericanAir employee āAungā at ORD who worked so hard to find my lost luggage after my delayed flight that left me stranded in Chicago. Amazing human and I hope this reaches him š

Once Iā¦
ā¦finish med school
ā¦complete residency
ā¦become an attending
ā¦get that first paycheck after training
ā¦become partner
THAT is when Iāll happy
But then you arenāt.
Itās called an Arrival Fallacy, and it impacts most physicians.
Itās the idea that āonce I get there or once I arrive THAT is when Iāll be happy.ā
But as Gertrude Stein said, āThere is no āthere, there.ā
So whatās the secret???
It turns out you have to learn how to practice focusing on the journey and not the destination.
Design a life you enjoy in the day to day. Not just through the āOnce Iā syndrome most of us suffer with.
Life does get better after training. But then you adapt. And for many the happiness is not what you expected. The light at the end of the tunnel wasnāt as bright as you thought it would be.
Enjoy the process. Not just the product.
If you arenāt, it may be time to ask tough questions. You have one life to live. Donāt waste it.
Leaving for 6 months of audition rotations. Genuinely curious how people leave their dogs this long Iām gonna miss this lady!!
