I was the subject of a case report when I was 13 years old! I had accelerated carpal growth plates, which fused the pisiform and hamate bones, necessitating excision.
My cat, The Witten, has become my travel buddy. She has logged many miles in the car and the air with poise, naps, and (so far) no excretion accidents. She has befriended many TSA agents, and her favorite snack is cheese. Thus far no one has asked her to pilot the plane.
Jen Mahon is a locum criticalist based out of SC, where she lives right next to a beautiful river and gets to watch nature in her backyard. She attended veterinary school and residency at Tufts University. After working as a criticalist for about five years in private practice in Dallas, TX, she started her own business, which is exactly as scary, thrilling, and fulfilling as one might expect! She provides locum critical care coverage for various private practices in SC and TX. Jen has a deep passion for teaching; she has lectured at various conferences and loves doing locum work at academic institutions. For her, “living la vida locum” provides the freedom to balance teaching and clinical work. She started writing, editing, and presenting with Zuku Review in 2023.
