76. #femDR Series: ER Doctor Siri "Hey Siri" Chamarti, MD

Published: June 10, 2021, 8 a.m.

If you ever find yourself in the ER up in NYC, I hope you get to meet Dr. Siri Chamarti, MD.  She's cool, she's smart and she's got "MD" after her name.  She is also an Instagram sensation with 20K+ followers at last count.  She's a foodie, world traveler and has mad ultrasound trivia skills, and she's totally non-judgmental if you get foreign objects lost in your body.  (More on that later).
