Rupi Kaur is the Taylor Swift of poetry. I will not be explaining further. #rupikaur

NEJM has put out 3 separate pieces of anti-wellness content in the last few weeks. Here鈥檚 the problem with their thesis - duty hour limitations are not a wellness intervention. They are a workers rights issue along with low wage labor, FMLA, and maternity leave.

Thinking about statistics while working on research gives me vertigo.

When SZA said "I hate being perceived." I felt that.

There is much discourse about gleaning life advice from the regrets of others (the dying, the accomplished, the disappointed). But I question the value in synthesizing advice from regrets; as a general rule, I try to capture lessons from what people categorically don't regret.

Working in medicine has extinguished any prior belief I've had that karma is real. Bad things happen to good people and some bad people never get their comeuppance. Anyone else struggle with this realization and its constant reminders in medical exposure? #MedTwitter

We are told time and time again that life isn't fair, which is a relatively easy concept to wrap out our head around intellectually. But to face it every day, often in its most extreme and devastating permutations has been disheartening and philosophically/morally challenging.

In my Canadian residency, I get 20 vacation days, 10 study days, and 7 conference days/year. This, I'm learning, is much more humane that what is offered to my American friends/counterparts. I'm grateful, but this contrast further brings the American system into sharp relief.

Being a junior resident feels like being a jack of no trades, master of none. 馃檭

I am a loud chewer who cannot stand other loud chewers. This is my truth and yes, I am a hypocrite.

When I was a medical student and people asked me what I did for work, I oftentimes would just respond that I am a professional test-taker.

If I told you that my hospital didn't have Wi-Fi, would you believe me? 馃檭

Once again, wise words from @halemur. The idea of romanticizing self-isolation and the impossibly tall order of romantic relationships as the be-all-end-all/purported zenith of our social lives is something I have been thinking about a lot lately. Leaves a lot to be desired.

Is there anything more infuriating than listening to someone eat soup?

Glad I avoided social media for most of today because I did not have the bandwidth to see a man post the classic "Happy International Women's Day, I can post this because I have a mom who I love, and she is woman related to me - a man ." Chad, this is about equal rights buddy.
