Even though I’m working, I will be giving out my favorite fruity candy this Halloween. It just melts in your mouth and people ask me for it all the time. It’s Zofran I’m giving Zofran

My favorite thing to teach medical students is not how to manage critically ill patients, not any specific procedure, it’s not even how to order a CT scan. I love to show how emergency medicine can be a rewarding, fulfilling career. It’s not all doom and gloom and burnout

Oh, you think your life is hard? Back in undergrad, I had a professor take points off my scientific paper because I used the phrase “downstream effects”, and the reason he gave is that “we aren’t talking about a river”

Saw a patient today for rib pain. On her property, she has a large pond. Many geese stop for both their migrations north and south, but they don't nest there. Early this past summer, one of the geese stayed, and it's been by the pond ever since.

As a doctor, saying, “wow, that sounds awful. You should see a doctor about that” to my patients when they describe their symptoms is as funny as it gets
