9/ And it felt overwhelming because I'd already spent a full day of caring. Yeah. Then I remembered something that one of the Grady elders once once taught me: "It's okay to hold on to a little piece of somebody's pain. But you can hold some of they joy, too, hear?"

Thanks WXYZ Detroit for supporting Henry Ford Health #PERC and #LongCovid 🥳 Michigan long COVID patients using art to show struggle with lingering symptoms wxyz.com/news/michigan-…

Incredibly moving to spend time with long-COVID patients and their evocative body maps, brilliantly collected and curated by the Henry Ford Health #PERC team. Proud of the brilliant Sara Santarossa @ashleyrappmph and their teams. ♥️

If you can- check this out. AMAZING work by Sara Santarossa and the PCORI group. Such a beautiful project. #ArtTherapy #artinmedicine

I have never been so sad to miss a conference.

Henry Ford Health and MSU Women's Health and OBGYN Symposium! 🤓 I got to present on some of our fitbit research during pregnancy. 💪

I honestly can’t amplify this enough. Show people the WHOLE you. ❤️

TLDR from my a much more impassioned Instagram post: A vote for Proposal 3 is a vote for women. Trusting us. Believing in us. And empowering us. (My original art)

📌Every #MD should read this 🧩To remind us that our #work depends on both good and bad #experiences 🔜To remind us that everything we do sets the cast for our #future 🩺To keep up #faith in this amazing #profession we chose pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35680311/

I don’t know where else I would put this into the universe but today a 6 year old taught me that I can know how many babies I will have by looking at the veins in my wrist. So OB/GYN’s everywhere - the answers are in your patients’ wrists. 😂😂 #MedTwitter

I’m painting again… this was for a rough week. The kind that makes you think about the *can* do’s, the *should* do’s, and the ocean of grief that lies between them.

My BFF’s MIL asked me to paint something in honor of her husband, a former FDNY firefighter, as a gift for his pulmonologist who has treated many first responders. As a NYer, with a (retired) cop father, it was an honor.

And this one- I forgot to post in February. Emergency medicine lost a titan, a mentor, a father and an amazing human. May he rest in peace.

Look what I found today. #ancient #medtwitter

Sometimes when people ask about my job, the only thing I can think of as comparison is this: My patients world is burning to the ground, and the outside world is carrying on as normal, and somehow it’s my job to keep these worlds separate and alive.

This event, After Hours, is bigger than the sum of its parts. It’s a permission slip to be both human and a doctor. It is, in a word, MAGIC ✨ #CHEST2024
