Welcome to Controlling the Chaos

Hi and welcome. I am Dr. Melissa Parsons, an Emergency Medicine physician that was nicknamed "Controlled Chaos" before I ever stepped foot an in ER. My current chaos includes: Assistant Residency Director in a county, therefore crazy Emergency Department, wife to a firefighter, full-time mom to two wonderful (but teenage) stepdaughters, female angler, cross-fitter, keto-enthusiast, and a battler of infertility. As I trekked my way through medical school, residency and now attending life, I have struggled to find balance while trying to "have it all." My goal for this blog - yes I'm type A so we must have a goal - is to discuss wellness, wisdom & women in the workplace. Follow me on Twitter or Instagram at MEParsonsMD.
