Nicole Biediger, D.O.

I was fortunate enough last year to receive a general surgery prelim spot here in El Paso, and now I’m thrilled to say that I’ll be sticking around to finish my training as a categorical! #GenSurgMatch2022

@olsonplanner 😂😂 omg. I didn’t realize it would get so many views haha

@Nbiediger2 my partner showed me your “cute texts from my attendings” on TikTok 😆 😂

Residency = going to sleep tired, somehow waking up even more tired

There must be something in the air when sign out comes around that signals all the icu patients to try to die all at once 😅

This big two toothy grin makes the 8 hr drive home worth it. #auntielife #vacation ❤️

I made the ultimate adulting move today. #homeowner 🥳

I am officially an adult, I just bought a fridge.

@sionedkay The number of times I’ve been consulted for disimpaction the last two weeks has actually been comical. I’ve even gotten “well we didn’t know if it was safe to do a DRE, so we thought y’all should do it” like I have different fingers or something

Last stool 2 days ago, no abdominal pain, passing gas, all labs/vitals normal. CT scan just full of poop with the read saying fecal impaction.

After a year of medicine, I have mad respect for internists. But y’all why did I just get consulted for an SBO and I get to the room and the pt tells me the IM resident told them they needed surgery and that we “would just go in and make a little cut across the blockage, nbd.”

@sionedkay Power rounds lol. 5 questions I need the answers to. And then dot phrases for progress notes will save your life and so much time.

Dear fellow gen surg residents, How exactly do y’all round on and finish progress notes on 30-40 pts in only 1-1.5hrs?? Asking for a very nervous incoming intern 🙃

@IanMitchellMD Thanks Dr. Mitchell! Surgery school has been pretty cool!

@Nbiediger2 Way to go!!!! Super Proud to see!

What a year it’s been! Intern year is coming to an end and I’m looking forward to what PGY2 will bring. Also excited to receive the intern of the year award this year! 🥰 #gensurg #residency

Why kids? Why anybody really but why kids?

If you live in South Texas, please donate blood as soon as you can!

But also lowkey looking forward to passing on the responsibility of answering the floor pages all day and night 😂

TTUHSC-EP med students graduate today and I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic and also mind blown at how fast this year went. Only 6 more weeks as an intern 🥹

1. Who would’ve thought buying a house would be almost as hard as getting into residency. 2. Why do so many people want to move to El Paso apparently right now?! 🫠

#Scramble2021 ➡️ PGY1 Prelim ➡️ #GenSurgMatch2022 ➡️ Surprise categorical PGY2 position 🎉 I’ve said it before, but I’m still a believer that everything happens for a reason!

I thought applying to residency was hard, but apparently trying to buy a house is just as bad 🤦🏼‍♀️🙃

@sionedkay Greenfields! It’s an easy read (compared to others) and recommended for us for 1st and 2nd year. Then Cameron’s after you finish that one. Or the blue icu book and the vent book if you do SICU. Or zollinger’s atlas.

I have a little bit of education funding left over from my TY program.. what is something I must buy for my intern year in general surgery?

My diet has regressed more and more throughout intern year to that of a small child’s. Uncrustables, velveeta mac n cheese, chicken nuggets. Anything quick when I get home or can eat in between patients 😅
