Inspired by @gradydoctor to share today& #39;s story

Day 1 attending new wards block - woke up early, read about our patients. Rushing to hospital as I mentally add task after task to today& #39;s agenda

Finish pre-rounding
Prepare for facilitating morning report
Countless admin tasks

Walking the hall to the office, eyes down, focused on my stress, my to-do list...

Voice in distance: "Dr. Leiner! Dr. Leiner!"

<look down at large window at end of hallway>

Resident calling to me: "Come look at this beautiful Sunrise!!"

We sit and watch from the window. A few silent moments watching the colors dance across the morning sky

Here I was focused on all the things to do today that I forgot to notice the beauty around me...

We are #HumansCaringForHumans - note the patients aren& #39;t the only humans in this relationship. WE are human too, and can get caught up in the sometimes inhuman situations in medicine. We can burn out

Don& #39;t forget to pause

Find things that can refill your tank

Don& #39;t forget to look up and notice the beauty all around

Thank you to this resident who reminded me to do so today

At a recent "new APD" APDIM Precourse, @scall1200 gave reasons for why we do what we do in GME education; top three reasons?

1) the trainees

2) the trainees

3) the trainees

I am so grateful to work where I do with amazing residents @VCU_IMRes. You guys inspire me every day.
