@BBankheadMD @TTUHSCSurgery Good carbs to go with our “-ein(e)s” … protein and caffeine 😁

Recently my @TTUHSCSurgery partner @sbrooksmd came in to be a 2nd set of hands for me overnight in a tough trauma. Afterwards, I was sitting in CT. Looked up & he had brought me periop snacks to help me get through the rest of my night. 😌 Support comes in many forms! 🥰

Sorry but there’s no amount of *wellness module* that will ever be as fulfilling as when I send @sbrooksmd a text at work that “fyi I’ll be in a counseling session the next hour” (I go q3months just bc they’re great 😌). And his reply? “Great! Get out of here!”

Happy #DoctorsDay to all our residents and attendings! A nice gesture form @umchealthsystem celebrating all the achievements and sacrifices that our doctors made over the last year ❤️ #MedTwitter #MedEd #Surgtwitter #SurgEd
