"I look away from the microscope. I close my eyes, escaping the objective truth of these ever-present blasts and settling into the memory of butterflies set free into blue August skies at Adam’s funeral. For a moment, I find relief within the comfort of darkness, a brief respite from bright light." Resident Trisha Paul (@trishakpaul2) describes learning about a young patient Adam both from the patient himself earlier in her education and through a microscope from his blood work some time later.

A Tale of Two Passings

"Like the medical jargon and the physical exam, learning how to witness death is both a rite of passage and a skill to be learned. Teaching medical trainees how to cope with death requires slowing down. When attendings or residents pause to remember what a first code feels like and debrief the experience or offer guidance on how to cope, it is impactful to trainees." Contrasting her own first experience with death and a classmate's, medical student Sarah Smith (@SarahSm25869963) describes how

"Jaime taught me that missed visits are important data points, rather than the lack thereof. They suggest that a patient could be struggling to contend with poverty, housing insecurity, immigration status concerns, domestic violence, immobility, untreated mental illness, or prior experiences facing racism when seeking care. While these forces may not be visible through the electronic medical record, they pose powerful threats to good health. Their effects warrant prompt diagnosis and an effective

"I never sought to transform John’s political views—my role as a future doctor is to heal people like John, to judge his heart by its physicality and not its prejudice. However, I hope that because of our time together as people with different backgrounds and worldviews, John acquired a more compassionate understanding of Mexican people than what our president publicizes. I hope that we remember each other." Medical student Salem Harry-Hernandez describes what it’s like as a Mexican American caring

"Ms. Scott paused. She looked around the hospital room, her eyes lingering on the cracked door leading out to the hallway. 'Well, my dear, I suppose I’m at the hospital. But wouldn’t you know—it’s begun to feel like a second home.'" In this episode, first-year resident Neha Verma reminds readers that sometimes unconventional treatments, like an elderly patient spending time at the nurse’s station with company instead of in her room alone, can make all the difference in her recovery.

“I don’t always know what the right thing is to say to someone who just attempted suicide. But what I do know is that hospital rooms are boring and lonely and scary. I also know that sometimes we all just want to be seen. I wasn’t the nurse, and she wasn’t the patient. We were just two girls laughing together.” Nursing student Chelsea Huffhines describes the importance of connecting with patients, person to person, which can happen over a simple bubble bath.

Heavy Moments

"The nature of clinical medicine teaches us to hear difficult stories from patients without being knocked over by them. But I think it will require intentional awareness and self-reflection throughout my career as a physician to respect every heavy moment for its immense worth." Medical student Nicholas Lenze reminds readers that although the normalization of the extraordinary may be a common experience in medicine, it doesn't have to be harmful if physicians remember to notice and remain aware of

A Skin Exam Shares a History, a Physical, and a Story

"When a patient’s story does not match up with the physical exam, we must accept the dissonance and take everything into account or else risk throwing away something our patient is trying to tell us." Medical student Rebecca Yanovsky recounts what she learned from a patient whose verbal account of her illness didn't match the physical exam findings--that doctors must listen with their eyes, ears, and heart.
