Told you I wouldn’t be gone for too long this time around 😉 First things first, I hope you all had as happy of a holiday season and start to the New Year as you had hoped for! I can certainly say that my New Year started off with a heck of a bang! Bringing […]

The Power of Persistence

I blinked and realized that it had been six months since I was last here with an update. I’m really getting bad at keeping up with this lol. When I first started the blog, I told myself that I would be consistent with my posts and that I would never let myself fall off. Throughout […]

Bliss In Chaos

I’M BAAAAACK 😜 Hope you didn’t miss me too much! It’s been quite a while since my last post in January (I’m starting to sound like a broken record 😅) and I’ve lived a lot of life since then, so you already know that I have a ton of updates to catch you up on! […]

New Year, New Gear (Pedal To The Metal)

*Pssst!* Hey, you. Yeah, you reading this sentence. Do you hear that? No? Be still and quiet, and wait a few seconds. Now do you hear it?

No Rest For The Weary

Lol, it’s been a while since my last post. Three months, two months, and six days, to be exact. That’s 111 days. ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN DAYS. How in the world did I let 111 days go by without an update?? Spoiler alert, I’ve been working my butt off. 🙃 In the time between my […]

Critical Opportunities

In the time between my last post and now, I’ve worked four night shifts and five day shifts in the PICU, worked a few continuity clinic shifts, helped launch a noon conference series focused on ending medical bias and racism by advocating for change and equity (E.M.B.R.A.C.E.), launched a voter registration drive in my continuity […]

You Can Call Me “Dr. Dub”

“Hey! How are you today? My name is Dr. Wekon-Kemeni, but you can call me Dr. Dub for short because it’s much easier to say and remember!” This is how I’ve been greeting the vast majority of my patients and their families in my continuity clinic these past couple of weeks, and it has been […]

The Power of Adaptability

This week is my last week in D.C. and I’m not ready to leave just yet 😭😭😭. I’ve really settled into the flow of things in my rotation and have quickly gotten used to the diverse nature of this city. I’ll probably never get used to the traffic in this city, but I’ve managed to get […]
