Hearts on the wall for Valentine’s Day. Ha. All day every day is a blood drive. “Any immunizations in the last eight weeks?” the phlebotomist asks. “Yes. The COVID-19 Pfizer series.” He lowers his head and nods. He has not received one yet, despite being a healthcare worker. Feels unfair. I am working from home.

Triple Board, Department of Pediatrics
A resident in the combined "Triple Board" program -- Pediatric Medicine, Adult Psychiatry, and Child/Adolescent psychiatry. I will spend a total of five years split between all three programs. Residents in the program will rotate in the same hospital, but often wearing a different hat. This is why eyebrows were raised when the psychiatry resident knew and was comfortable initiating the neurology rapid response algorithm in a children's medical hospital. All in a day's work of a combination resident.
