Mashup Score: 0Why We Sleep, and Why Don’t We Let Hospitalized Patients Sleep? – The Early Career Voice - 1 year(s) ago
Last month, I wrote about my newfound fascination with wearables and the physiological parameters I now measure on myself. One of these metrics is my “recovery score,” (Figure 1) which is heavily determined by the quantity, quality, and consistency (the regularity of the times at which I go to sleep each night and wake up each morning) of my sleep. Now that I wake up each morning being graded by…

Mashup Score: 1
I walked out of the hospital after my last inpatient shift of my first year of Cardiology fellowship and let out a sigh. It felt like I was releasing a breath I’d been holding in for years.

There was some traffic because of dismissal as students traveled home in their vehicles or were picked up by parents/guardians.
