Medicine Mondays


Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Lately I’ve been talking a lot about finishing medical school and preparing for residency. Today, I’m going to switch gears and talk about something else “The End of Training”. The End of Training First of all, I want to clarify that I’m not being figurative or philosophical. This is not a commentary on wanting to end the training necessary to become a doctor, or shorten it, or anything. This […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays… except it’s a Tuesday. So for some reason, this didn’t get posted yesterday and I’m not really sure why. Anyways, let’s talk about Transient Smartphone Blindness. What is Transient Smartphone Blindness? Well, it’s kind of exactly what it sounds like. It’s blindness that is temporary (transient) caused by using your smartphone in a particular way. This actually isn’t new, it was described back in 2016 by the New England Journal […]

Hey everyone, it’s just another Medicine Monday — wish it was Sunday. I don’t have all that much to talk about today, except to reflect a bit. So this should be a short post.

My immediate future is pretty much set […]

Kylie Pizza - Small 5
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again, but this really isn’t a Medicine Mondays post. Instead today was another Father Daughter Day. Father Daughter Day As you guys know, I work kind of a weird schedule where I work 10 hour days for 8 days and then I’m off 6 days. The trade off is that I work every other weekend, but then I get some days off in the middle of the week. Normally I […]
