When I was a first-year med student, I used to sit there quietly, looking up at the GI fellows and attendings, convinced I didn’t belong… like I wasn’t smart enough or good enough to ever be where they were. I carried that doubt with me for a long time. But I kept showing up anyway—through the long nights, the failures, the moments I wanted to quit. And somehow, over the next 10 years, that quiet persistence changed everything. Now I’m standing where I once thought I never could. If you’re in that place right now, questioning yourself—don’t let that voice win. Keep going. One day, you’ll look up and realize you became the person you once doubted you could be. #medicine #medschool #dayinthelife #struggle #academia

When you gain altitude, air pressure drops — and that affects everything, including your gut 💨⛰️ At higher elevations, gases in your digestive system expand (thanks to basic physics), which can lead to more… frequent releases 😅 This is actually called “high altitude flatulence,” and it’s the same reason snack bags puff up on planes ✈️ So yeah — breathtaking views, thinner air, and a little extra personal wind power #HighAltitude #Science #mountain #didyouknow #ski
