To my colleagues in the Rio Grande Valley who welcomed me for my first “real job” caring for the underserved community in McAllen and Pharr, Texas. I will never forget the many dedicated and talented doctors, nurses, staff, and social workers.

I especially cherish my nurse Estella and social worker Letty – both of you still have special places in my heart.

To my best friend and wife, Zina Rosen-Simon, and to my daughters, Jamie and Kaylie, for teaching me and always reminding me what is most important in life. I would also like to thank my faculty at Highland General Hospital and all the residents and students who have passed through our doors for helping make my career as an academic emergency physician challenging and immensely rewarding.

To Jason for his love, support, and understanding of my life as a nocturnist.

A hearty thanks goes out to my family for their love and support, especially Danielle, Ruby, and Rhys; the dedicated medical professionals of the emergency departments at New York University/Bellevue Hospital and Wayne State University/Detroit Receiving Hospital; and my patients, who put their trust in me and teach me something new each day.

To my family (especially my parents, my husband, Steve, and our boys, CJ and Owen) for their endless support; my incredible mentors (Drs. Gloria Kuhn, Melissa Barton, Michelle Lall, and Azita Hamedani) for their sponsorship and guidance; my colleagues and the many trainees who I’ve been fortunate to work with through the years; and my patients who have trusted us all to provide care on one of their most difficult days.
