This week in the @shocktrauma MTCC I intubated using a glide scope, placed an open chest tube, improved my central line placements w/ and w/o ultrasound, braved an HD line on a coagulopathic patient, and even floated a Swan 🦢. (Maybe next week it will be a 🦃)

It was a “herstoric” moment for CU Cardiothoracic Surgery when two female cardiothoracic surgeons performed transplant surgeries simultaneously. @yujess2000 performed a heart transplant while @randhawa_sk was performing a lung transplant down the hall. bit.ly/3oBEgfl
Survived my first call shift in the multi-trauma ICU @shocktrauma 😍 The month has only begun and I am already learning so much! #shockselfie
