First Code Blue: A Resident’s Story

Dr. Alyssa Chen, MD · PGY-3, Internal Medicine

Dr. Chen ran her first code as a second-year resident — on a patient she’d followed for three weeks. She recounts the room, the noise, the attending’s steady voice, and the debrief that never happened. Required listening for every intern who fears the overhead page.
