Taylor M. Christian MD, MS

I had a patient tell me yesterday how happy she was to see a doctor that looks like her. ❤️🥹 Highlight of my shift.

I have worked as a receptionist, babysitter, busboy, waiter, pest control tech, OR tech, ER tech, EMT, and paramedic. All have taught me important lessons I will use today on my first shift as an ER doc.

Yesterday, I graduated from my residency in Emergency Medicine at UAB. This is what I prayed for. In the words of a close friend of mine, “I’m real live living my DREAM!” With that being said, I’m good. My family is good. But most importantly, my God is good!

What is being a parent like? Paying more for Croc jibbitz than the actual crocs because my 2 year old said so. 🥴 He also thinks the “J” is a 2 so his reasoning isn’t the most sound but I still listen. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@StarSurgeonMD @MashliLoves So proud of you! Congratulations ❤️

Recently, I was giving a presentation at @MayoClinic but I also was “on-call” for my most rewarding role in life - father. I had a really special moment where my boys were able to come. Youngest fell down & needed some love. It led to this really special moment for us - TY 🙏🏾

Nobody ever tells or prepares you for the transition in medicine of being from low-middle class to later being almost entirely surrounded by ppl that come from generation wealth for the rest of your life. Not inherently bad but an interesting transition to navigate.

I was at the beach. It was bedtime, and I was tucking my two kids in bed. As I read The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe to them, that’s when we heard sirens go by the beach house A few minutes later, we heard the helicopter landing in the field behind our house. Strange. 1/

I just signed Jerry Bear up for soccer and I’m way too excited.

Nova was found! Jared is giving him a good talking to about running off 😂❤️

My sweet dog got out of our gate yesterday and has wandered off. I’ve never been more distraught. I pray he’s found unharmed and quickly. #RochesterMN #LostDog #LostPet

@DatGuy_DeMike Take small bills for tips, have Dramamine with you and another antiemetic just in case, buy the packages before you get on the boat (wifi,drinks, etc). Take the Dramamine at night even if you don’t feel sea sick.

I’m going on a cruise for the first time. Any advice?

@brittljohn You might be on to something here. 👏🏾 Congratulations!!

What’s the benefit of 2 residencies & research?! Student Loan Forgiveness!!!!! 🎉🥳🍾 Entering fellowship DEBT FREE!!!! #HugeBlessing #PSLF #120payments

I am at a loss for words. How many more residents, physicians, humans need to take their own lives before people start to listen? Dr. Nakita Mortimer, you deserved more.

So at night, it’s usually just me and the boys which gets rough because I’m pumping every 2-3 hours. Tonight Dad is off work and is on daddy duty. (Usually turns into mommy duty but not tonight!!!) I’m hiding in my oldest son’s tent in the basement listening to the chaos. 😭😂

@DatGuy_DeMike This is a hard no for us 😩 we wash daily and still can’t keep up.

Let’s think about this, I gotta wait for one load to wash AND dry before I start another load?

@ABtheMD She’s soooo cute and congratulations!!

Long coat gang. ✨ Ready for graduation tomorrow😁

How tired am I? Today I washed a Huggies diaper in the laundry. What I learned? Huggies indeed are superior. It held a LOT of water. It didn’t disintegrate or fall apart. I also thank God it wasn’t a dirty diaper. 😭😂
