🌟 Grateful Patient Spotlight: Dr. Nick Diehl, DO, Pediatric Resident at the University of Illinois College of Medicine 🌟

A parent recently shared their heartfelt gratitude for Dr. Diehl’s exceptional care during their daughter's hospital stay:

“Dr. Diehl has been amazing! He was the first to believe my daughter’s symptoms before there was even test data to back it up. He went above and beyond to put her at ease. He has consistently fought to reach our goals and kept us informed every step of the way through a scary process. We are forever grateful to Dr. Diehl! His care and compassion made a huge difference!”

Thank you, Dr. Diehl, for making a positive impact on the lives of your patients and their families!

🩺🥼Our PGY3’s had a great time discussing and partaking in a little work-life balance at their annual retreat! 🥘🥂

Meet Dr. Lichtenstein, one of our wonderful pediatric ophthalmologists!

1. What’s your favorite thing to do outside of work? Pilot, both fixed wing and lighter than air (hot air ballooning) and skydiving when we were younger 👨‍✈️🛩️🪂
2. What is your work related passion? Seeing the little babies that could have had vision problems, coming back as teenagers and young adults with straight eyes and good vision. Also love research and of course teaching the next generation of physicians the beauty and complexity of the human eye. ✨👁️👶🏻👶🏼👶🏽👶🏽👶🏿👁️✨
3. Why did you choose to work at UICOMP/OSF? Although we are a “small town”, our children’s hospital is one of the best in the country. The tremendous need for world class pediatric care! 🏥
4. Words of wisdom for applicants and pediatric-aspiring medical students? Follow your love and passion, NOT the highest paying specialty! Money will mean very little if you hate going to work, seeing human beings, and not loving seeing every patient. You should feel like you have never worked a day your life. If you love what you do, it is not work! 🩺😍🥼😍
