Daughter’s perspective on surgical residency: “daddy I think you’re Santa because you work ALL the time, probably making toys.” Grateful for the annual bonus days off around the holidays to prove her wrong.

From the prior medical student perspective I second everything Dr. Pender said here.

Just one example of why I’m training at a great place. Co-residents @danecpaneitz and Shannon Radomski dropping by post call on Christmas Day being Santa to my girls. @hopkinssurgery @HopkinsMedicine

As my four year old tried to add double the salt while making cookies tonight and my two year old dumped the flour onto the counter I couldn’t help but think this is how my attendings must feel each time this new intern picks up the bovie. @hopkinssurgery #internchronicles

Excited to be working with you! I could use some lessons on the piano in all our free time!

Last ride with @drrayprice before the move!
