39th Birthday

With each passing year, birthdays seem to feel “just like another day”, but despite my disdain for celebrating random days, this one was special as I recalled some major milestones. I got engaged. I got promoted to Associate Professor. I’ve continued to grow my career, taking on more work at the intersection of medical education, technology, AI, and social media. And I lost some weight. 😂

My career is a constant reminder that life could always be worse – I’m not the patient. But with the aches and pains of aging, I’m heading in that direction. 😂

    I’m really enjoying reading about your journey and can’t thank you enough for everything you post online for us med students planning on going into anesthesia. From your teachings to the normal day-to-day stuff, it’s all truly insightful. Your posts have been a great way to pass the time and get excited about the future while sitting between cases on my surgery clerkship. Thanks again.

      Thank you so much, Dr. Brandt! I still vividly remember sitting in the lecture hall at BCM and not only learning about embryology but also about wellness in medicine. You’ve always been a role model for all to emulate! 🙏
