Introduction: This week I share with you a story from Jake Paulson, a former UMass Chan mentee of mine who is now a PGY2 in the internal medicine residency at UMass. He recently spent a week doing a writing elective with me. He wanted to share what it is like being up all night and dealing with such a wide range of experiences while sleep deprived and trying to must some self-care. I think he does it well.
