Residency is kicking my butt, and living in between two cities (in between doctor appointments at UPenn) isn’t exactly helping. But I’m doing it! I love being an ER resident again. ;) Being a doctor-patient is truly a privilege. Yes, I tell some of patients my story (and some even recognize me from the news/social media/whatever, which is even more interesting).
I became an Ambassador for Safebeat Initiative, which is a nonprofit program aimed to help screen young people for heart disease and arrhythmias at an early age. Check out their website for more info.
I have done a few speaking gigs since my last post, including (but not limited to 😂): FIX19, OMED, Grand Rounds at Einstein Health, Philly AHA Heartwalk. I also helped record a radio clip for Gift of Life, which should be out soon. And there have been a few more podcasts…
