Shout Outs
Submit a shout-out for a resident here to be featured! Submit your own accomplishments here for saving to your file and faculty awareness.
Last week Kurt Moskovitz laid hands on a headstrike and found chest crepitus which made us upgrade to DART and the guy had a PTX with a bunch of subq emphysema
Shout out to the whole PGY2 class. It’s a thankless job a lot of the times but they take it on the chin, show up, eat the board and do it all again the next day. I’m always happy when I have one of them with me
Sara Youssef is cooking! She’s seeing a ton of patients and excited to see more. Doing a great job on nights!
Emma Bergman has been eating the board, showing up at notifications, nailing tricky intubations and A-lines. Everyone loves working with her!
