CW: suicide Match day is on Friday. Every year I remember a classmate who died soon after not matching. Your life is worth so much more than medicine. Please: reach out to your colleagues. Check on them frequently. Medicine is not your life. Mentors, check in w mentees.

Congrats to GW SMHS students Samy and Rushi for matching into top vascular surgery programs BCMHouston and MedStar Vascular Surgery! These programs are lucky to have you and you’re gonna do great things no doubt!! GW Surgery GW Vascular Surgery Anton N. Sidawy, MD MPH FACS DFSVS MAMSE

I’m working on a keynote speech while my husband does the dishes… I’m utterly convinced that one of the biggest predictors of career success (especially as a woman in medicine) is who you marry and how much work at home they’re willing to share.

Best compliment of residency thus far has to be an ER nurse saying she's never seen anyone put in an a-line so fast #need4speed 😎

What is the hesitation to use the word consult in a page requesting a consult? I’d like to know what this conversation is going to be about

From Eric Pillado, MD MBA MS: Respecting patients' chosen names & pronouns is an important way to promote trust and confidence in their healthcare team. #PrideMonth

Your Match Day reminder that square knots look the same at hospitals of every ranking, and matching *somewhere* is what matters. The grass is not always greener at your ‘top’ programs, and in the end, both your potential and the basic principles of surgery are still the same.

Unintentionally matching with DrASW in clinic. The mentor-mentee relationship is strong MUSC Vascular Surgery
