How it started How it's going

In September, I won the Undergraduate Narrative Award for Palliative Medicine. Today, I'm in my last week of electives on Palliative Care! It has been a privilege to be part of end-of-life care as a medical student. Thank you @CMAJ + @CSPCP_SCMSP for supporting student writing!

One might even say that the tea and toast diet is the bread and butter of Internal Medicine

What happens when you take resilience in medicine too literally

What a treat to see this on my explore page! Dr. Lacombe is a powerhouse in animal physiology and undergraduate teaching. She is also one of the reasons I am in medical school today! Congratulations Dr. Lacombe; your students are so, so lucky to have you!! 💐

Bittersweet coming together as a class one last time before CaRMS. Almost 4 years and I am still so proud to be part of our #QMed2023 family. Core clerkship: ✅ Core values 🍎: be kind, caring, curious…and make sure to close your eyes in every picture with @MCG_MedEd

Rage against the machine!!! But sometimes the machine is also just your printer.

@Laura_KWells SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

@sim5andhu Noooooo….. I went a full year in the hospital thinking it was bear hugger 😭😭😭 I’m just learning this now???? Help

One of my favourite anesthesia moments has been realizing it's spelled "Bair Hugger" and not "Bear Hugger." It could always be worse I guess - technically... "Bare Hugger" would've fit pretty perfectly, too.

As a med student, I will absolutely forego breakfast if I’m late enough. Forgetting to feed a tamagotchi though?! Absolutely not, don’t even think about it.

"In Canada, it [Komagata Maru] is a reminder of a policy of exclusion and racism." My grandfather told me the story of the Komagata Maru when I was still a kid. It is a heavy one, but one I and many other Sikhs and immigrants carry with them every single day.

"medical students expand their vocabulary by learning thousands of new words every year!" me still, when I see the word duodenum: doo-od-din-num...duo-dee-num...duo-dee-um.

things you didn't know were related but are: squids, their axons, and our understanding of action potentials. it's time to put some respect on their names!!! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

The pinnacle of the student experience is re-reading your email 30 times to make sure you hit the right balance of polite + professional...and then forgetting to send the attachment.
