I’m thrilled to share that I’m almost 3/4 of the way to my fundraising goal for the 2026 Boston Marathon! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me so far! Let's aim to cross the $9000 mark today! 🙌 givengain.com/project/elizab…

I'm excited to share that I'll be running the 2026 Boston Marathon to raise funds for the @Heather_Abbott1 Foundation, which provides prostheses to victims of traumatic limb loss. Every dollar helps to pay for the cost of these life-changing devices! givengain.com/project/elizab…

@AmyPrescottMD with magical phrases to use in the ED. Use simple language. Validate patient experience. Use open-ended questions. @aaeminfo #AAEM23

One of my sheroes. May she Rest In Peace and Rise in Glory.
A heartbreaking loss for our country and for Wellesley. Secretary Madeleine Albright ’59 was a force of nature in politics & a living embodiment of Wellesley’s motto, Non Ministrari sed Ministrare—Not to be ministered unto, but to minister.

This brought tears of gratitude to my eyes. To all my friends and colleagues, those I know and those I don’t. Thanks for all you do, each and every day.
Some musical gratitude for all the healthcare workers who do the impossible every day. Simple Gifts, #songsofcomfort
This may in fact be better than when @AClarkDC surprised me with a sleeping cave in our basement for post-night shift sleeping. Thanks to our partners/families/friends for making life better!
Ever since Covid, I've been going straight from the car into the shower after getting home from work. Today, I found a taco waiting for me in the bathroom 💕

I think Sammy and Champ would be good friends. Champ looks like he got tired, sat down, and was like “Yeah, I’m good here, you come to me, Jill. K Thanks.” Maybe we should send some sweet potato flan, one of Sammy’s 700 favorite foods ☺️ #firstdogs washingtonpost.com/politics/…
Just woke up after my post-night shift nap, and there’s a new President, and it’s a beautiful day. Wish I was working right now so I could ask the orientation question: “Who is the President?” @POTUS @JoeBiden Thank goodness. #Inauguration2021

My Christmas present came early this year — incredibly grateful to be the first to receive the #COVID19 vaccine at work today! I wasn’t supposed to be first, but the PA administering my vaccine was all business and worked quickly!🎄💉🩹
What an exciting day! We administered our first #COVID19 vaccine to our frontline associates and providers. So grateful to our #OneTeam, which has shown steadfast dedication to our patients and the community through this incredibly challenging time. bit.ly/2WnIMjO

As an ER Doc treating lots of #COVID19 patients during this pandemic, I’ve been eating asparagus at least once a month to make sure I haven’t lost my sense of smell. And thus begins the great “Does asparagus make your pee smell?” debate of 2020.
