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.Shout out to Dr. Emma Bergman for walking a scared intern (me) through a very challenging central line. Her patience and calmness made me feel so supported while consultants watched impatiently. You’re the best Emma!

Dr. Matt Vaughan for nailing a tricky USIV. I look over and he’s like upside down and I was like what is this intern doing but it was a great line. A true acrobat and artist.

Shout out to Dr. Gabriella Galli for receiving the Distinguished Houststaff Award!! We are so proud and lucky to have you Gabby.

"With an emergent intubation of a very sick, hypotensive, tachy patient with many providers around, Hye Won handled the airway and intubation like a seasoned veteran. There were multiple factors that could have broken her concentration: monitor function coming in and out, providers weighing in mid-intubation, an airway occluded with gastric contents, but she was well-prepared from the start and followed her steps without breaking stride: suctioning the airway and expertly placing the hyperangulated tube in the airway. I was really impressed with her composure in the situation. Also, shoutouts to Ali Abdelati, Dina Saba, Lina Feng, and Cole Birmingham for their care of this sick patient. There was a lot going in this case, and they all pitched in and worked together to get this patient the care they needed."
