Maritza Diane Essis, MD, MS

Being that today was my first official day as a PGY-2, I thought it appropriate to look back at some highlights from my first year as mom and surgical resident. Love post night float playtime with my kids #orthotwitter #MedTwitter

This has got to stop. We are losing our children, educators, healers and everyone in between. #thisismadness #orthotwitter

@kartalias_k @OrthoAtYale @StephKaszuba @OrthoHannah @SarahRabinMD @WalterReedOrtho @MilOrtho Love this!!!

@DianeEssis @OrthoAtYale @StephKaszuba Love a good #ladyTRIpod! See what I did there? Here are me and my 2 female co-interns with our female sports attending, Dr. Marina Rodriguez! 👊 #orthotwitter #milortho @OrthoHannah @SarahRabinMD @WalterReedOrtho @MilOrtho

Caught on camera! Rare occurrence where all three of us @OrthoAtYale #ladypod interns were in the same room at the same time. Find me a better female intern trio @orthotwitter @StephKaszuba #throwback

@Louise_Atadja @OrthoAtYale @bwos2020 @RJOSociety @UTSWedu @UTSWNews Welcome to the family!!!!!

1 year ago today! One of the best days of my professional life. Happy #MatchDay2022 to all the future interns🎉. Only a few more minutes

@AwaBakayoko95 Félicitations!!!!!

😭😭😭

Congrats to all those who found out they matched today! To those who did not, keep your heads up and stay motivated! Your time will come also! Special congrats to all the new future #orthopods

Truly an honor to partake in a podcast I listened to as a med student navigating my way into Orthopaedics. I have some pretty cool co-residents who do some cool things outside of the OR! Check it out!

Couldn't think of a better way to start my off service ED rotation! What a squad! #orthotwitter #internlife

Dominick Tuason, MD (center), led residents in a workshop to pin supracondylar fractures and perform femoral varus derotational osteotomies. PGY1s L-toR: Drs. Kevin Pirruccio, Sahir Jabbouri, Claire Donnelley, Diane Essis, Stephanie Kaszuba. #OrthoTwitter #Residency #YaleOrtho

Woke up @ 2am wondering what POD this patient was, whether he was s/p lap appy or chole. “Who is this patient?” I thought to myself as a grabbed a bottle from the fridge to feed him. It took me 15 min to finally realize this “patient” was my baby…and I was home #internmomlife

1 month and change in. Feeling less like a glorified med student and more like an intern. #babysurgeon #medtwitter #orthotwitter

@Kamali_Thompson Supportive partner and outside help! School/nannies/daycare/family! Whatever way you can get help, get it. Two weeks in so far and we are surviving. It’s not pretty all the time but the kids are fed. I can’t say the same about us, the adults though 😂

People with kids in residency….. how did you do it?!?!?!?

I think I just ate for the first time in 24hrs… #internyear #medtwitter

Nothing like starting residency as the off service intern, on Acute Care Surgery, at the hospital often referred to as “the Wild West”. Good thing I like trauma #orthotwitter #medtwitter

We’re official!!! A new doctor has joined the world

@NaricaClarke Praying for you! You got this!

Received my schedule for intern year and I’ll be on trauma... in the peak of summer... when DC announced that everything will be fully open... and everyone is already screaming “we outside”. SEND HELP

@Delta any way to add an infant in arms without calling the reservations line. Current wait time for an agent is 5 hours 😩

They were right when they said that when you have a second kid, it feels like you now have ten😂
