I am currently a third-year emergency medicine resident physician in Philadelphia, and I love every minute of my job. I enjoy resuscitating septic patients. I like splinting the occasional fracture. I love calling those “STEMI” alerts. Amongst all of this chaos, I have become very interested in critical care medicine over the last few years. In fact, I had applied to critical care medicine fellowship programs and had gotten into a wonderful program a few months ago. I was supposed to be starting the rest of my training this summer, actually. But I will have to put it off for another year.
