Accepting Patients
- Areas of interest in Emergency Medicine: Critical care and procedures. My favorite procedures to do are intubations. My least favorite procedure is chest tube insertion. As chief, I like being involved in the teaching of the next generation and working to foster a more positive culture in medicine. We are responsible for the future of medicine, and we owe it to the next generation to make it less toxic than it was before.
- Areas of interest outside medicine: Gardening, baking, watching murder mysteries on Netflix, reading (really listening to audiobooks), spending time with my hubby, snuggles with my dogs and cat, and listening to EM:RAP on my way into shift.
