1:00 AM thoughts.

It’s been 2 years now but I still think about There Is by @antarespromise once in a while. I was an intern then, I think, and having regular breakdowns. I’m now 2 years into residency and still having maudlin spells, but yes, I think I’ve grown a little as a doctor myself, too. Also yes, I’ve written my own fair share of med fics for myself along the way, too, mostly for self-indulgence. For these reasons and more, There Is will always have a special place in my heart.

Zebras Among The Horses

After he is fired from his position as a field epidemiologist for the CDC, Yuuri Katsuki takes a position in Paris, working with world-famous epidemiologist Viktor Nikiforov. Fairly quickly, Yuuri realizes that Viktor is the man of his dreams: he’s intelligent, driven, and beautiful. Even though the attraction seems to be mutual, Yuuri knows it’s a bad idea to sleep with his boss. However, when an accident exposes Yuuri to an unknown virus, he's left wondering: will he get his happily ever after?

What is the word count for the writing pieces for the application & any requirements on the rating? (This project sounds amazing :)

As this is a safe for work zine, all samples should also be safe for work; an NSFW sample will not give us a clear idea of what you would bring to the project. 

As for word count requirements, please see the answer to this ask. 

Thank you!

Hello.

Recently a number of you started following me 😊 (thanks!)

Thought I’d introduce myself.

I am 30, Canadian, happily married to a New Yorker whom I met online (he’ll never leave NY 😆).

I am a freshly minted doctor (recently graduated set free from residency). I love my job, and I am in a good place!

YoI brought me back to writing after ten years. I wrote a medical AU that helped me through some of the darkest days of medical training.

Sometimes I draw. I have never really drawn people prior to YoI.

Before med school I worked full time as a yoga instructor for 2 years. I have lived in 4 countries & speak fluent Mandarin.

Feel free to say hello. I usually don’t bite. 💙

P.S. if you are writing an AU about hospitals, the medical field and have related questions, feel free to DM me 😂

I got the sweetest comment on Ao3 today 😊. It makes me really want to come back to writing.

I’m still not ready yet after the Big Bang to commit to another multi-chapter fic.

For now, hope you enjoy the art.

(I’ll be back when I’m ready). 💙

Holiday Parties

So, my husband and I are doctors, and we are also huge introverts that after seeing patients all day the last thing we want to do afterwards is socialize 😂.

I am genuinely excited for my workplace holiday party today because I like my co-workers (bringing my husband because without me he goes hungry).

During residency I can’t say the same. Some of my co-residents were awful. I’m not a cryer but last time I cried was at graduation. People were hugging me and was like “I’ll miss you too”.

Inside I was thinking, “oh I won’t miss you or this horrible place. Nope, not one bit”. I wasn’t crying because I was sad. It was more like “I’m freeeeeeeee 😭.

My husband was thoroughly entertained by the whole thing. I brought him along for the food. 😂 Now you see why I wrote fanfiction to cope with residency. But at the end, I left with an education that I am proud with 💙

I am in a good place now.
