I'm just that awesome

I stride down halls with my [long] white coat flapping in the wind because I am badass. I answer trauma activations with "I got this" because I am that cool. I run codes in resuscitation room 1 with my eyes closed, a blindfold on, and one hand tied behind my back. I resect basilar tip aneurysms bedside. When Martin and Spetzler were looking at an MRI trying to grade an AVM, they called me. I know all the CPT codes, for all the procedures, all the time. Off the top of my head. I passed the Neurosurgery boards before I went to medical school. This 7 years of training? Just a formality - I have accepted the position of chair at Big Top Notch Academic Center of excellence, to commence the day after my graduation. When the chair at my program is away on vacation, who steps in? This girl. When there is an emergency in the OR, an unexpected turn of events, who do they consult? You got it, this girl. Why? I'm just that awesome.
