16. Twins in GI Fellowship with Dr. Gila Hoffman
Description
"Just before I turned 34 weeks I was doing my fellows clinic from my hospital room. I had a sign on the door like 'Do Not Disturb, I'm in clinic', and they were like we have to get your vitals at some point during this. So they came and took my blood pressure and it was like 170/100. The resident was pushing IV labetalol while I was precepting with my attending, and finally I was just like 'Ok, I think I'm done with clinic'. I had a few more patients left in the day and I was just like 'I'm done. I can't do this'."
This episode is with Dr. Gila Hoffman, a gastroenterologist in St. Louis who specializes in inflammatory bowel disease.
We talk about:
- Finding out she was having twins
- Doing telehealth fellows clinic from her hospital bed
- Having a miscarriage in residency
- Missing out on the beginning of GI fellowship on maternity leave and having to catch up
- The differences between having a baby as a fellow vs an attending
