@dr.devanbaijal This job is often heavy more than it is funny, which is why it is so important to hold onto all the lighthearted, fun moments that can happen through this work, even if they are unintentional! Truly grateful to be trusted with my patient’s stories and lives and that they feel comfortable enough around me to give it to me straight! What are some strays you’ve caught at work?? #medicine #healthcare #residency #mentalhealth #psychiatry

Hook

The first slide acts as a title card, establishing the theme and context of the list to follow. It uses a compelling, casual phrase to create a curiosity gap about the specific examples that will be revealed.

Payoff

The final slide (not present in the example) would typically present the last item in the list and include a call-to-action that encourages audience participation or reflection on the theme, as seen in the caption.
