What is an EKG
(electrocardiogram)?
It is a tracing the
represents the heart's electrical activity through small electrodes that are
placed on a patient's skin. EKG's are quick and painless, and those very
tracings, that seem foreign to the untrained eye, provides important
information about the patient's heart. EKGs can: check your heart rhythm, see
if you have poor blood flow to the heart muscle (ischemia), diagnose a heart
attack, and check on things that are abnormal, such as thickened heart muscle.
In fact, the EKG is the initial test of choice for those patients that are
complaining of chest pain or difficulty breathing.

What is “White Coat
Dreams?”
What started out as a hashtag #WhiteCoatDreams I used during
my junior year during undergrad has now transpired into a blog/brand that
inspires others to achieve their dreams in the medical field and in their
careers. Did I think that this “hashtag” that I used to frequently motivate
myself through college had inspirational potential? – UH NO…but it did, and I
am humbled by those that are inspired through my journey to becoming a
Physician Assistant. Every day, I get questions from those who are aspiring to
be in my shoes, and I’m consistently asked about the inspiration behind “White
Coat Dreams.” Although the answer seems simple, its transformation has been
complex! This journey has NOT been easy, but if it was easy, anyone could do
it.
