These pearls started as post-shift emails to my residents, and the format never really changed. You’ll still see the tone and layout of an email—that’s intentional. It keeps the feel of how these started: a quick note after a long shift, part recap, part reflection, sometimes just a pointer toward another great resource worth exploring.

When he’s not on shift, he’s usually swimming laps, dancing to Latin music, or letting his dog decide the walking route.
