Like everyone else, I’m still reeling from the shock of @kobebryant and Gigi’s tragic deaths, as well as the loss of 7 other precious lives cut far too short. My heart goes out to the families who are experiencing unmanageable suffering. Times like these are such a painful reminder that life can be so unpredictable. No matter who you are, how successful you become, or how much more you still have to offer to the world, death plays no favorites. I felt it Sunday along with the rest of the world, and I feel it in the hospital when I see good people and families get their world turned upside down with a late stage diagnosis. It freaking sucks.

It’s also a good punch in the gut that puts our own lives into perspective. Hold your loved ones close. Tell them you love them. You never know when life throws you a freaking GRENADE, let alone curve ball. Stop sweating the little things. Focus on the big picture and live the life you want! Grab life by the balls and be the person you’ve always wanted to be. Live a life of happiness, love, fulfillment, the change you want to see in the world, etc etc. I know I’m being cliche but honestly, live a life that when it does inevitably come to its last chapter, you can still look back down on earth and say, “well at least I had a good run... Mamba out!” #mambaforever #rip

I’m always so thankful for the holidays. It’s a welcome reprieve to the unrelenting winter months, and it’s a time for hearty meals and good company.

But in the hospital, it can be be a difficult time for families. Although we try our best to send patients home before the holidays, it’s not always possible. I bid a last farewell to my first patient this week. It was jarring because it was a bit unexpected. In medicine - life and death go hand in hand. One cannot exist without the other. Although we try our best to preserve and celebrate life, death is also the familiar final act that marks the end of all of our stories.

Death is scary. It can be ugly, messy, unexpected, painful, drawn out, and always devastating. We try our best to delay death or at least provide comfort and give our patients a dignified and gentle send-off. But it doesn’t always happen that way. Death is inherently a solitary passage into darkness. But through death, we also learn to appreciate the beauty of life and love.

The most memorable patients of mine are the ones whose families have shown me their capacity for love. It’s heartwarming and such a privilege to witness families come together during a loved one’s final days or moments. These families have taught me so much more about healing than my training ever will. They’re a wonderful reminder that there is good in this world. And I’m thankful for witnessing a fragment of that.

In residency, there are white clouds and black clouds. And then then there are rainbows. A few silly photos because I DISCHARGED MY LAST PATIENT OF THE DAY!! And I’m not on call tomorrow so I’m off 👏😊 Winning the game is truly the stuff of legends, but today I make my mark in history. This day will go down in infamy. Even if a black cloud should befall me, at least I can look fondly upon this beautiful day and remember that I too have been #blessed.

Back by popular demand! “How to be an impressive sub-intern: Graduating from student to master 4th year”

This is why 4th years have more fun 😊 (written as a currently sleep-deprived intern lol)
