A surgeon in training says she came back from a 13-hour OR shift after missing checkout, and her Hilton hotel ended up calling the police on her

A medical student and podiatry surgeon in training says a Hilton hotel in Orlando called the police on her during a checkout dispute. Steffi ( stefficasi ), who calls herself The Pretty Podiatrist on Instagram and TikTok, got hundreds of thousands of views as she shared her experience on the last day of her externship. In her post caption, Steffi said she finished a 13-hour surgical shift and returned to her hotel in downtown Orlando around 8:30 PM. She admitted she missed the noon checkout time and had not arranged for an extra night. Before arriving back, she said she learned her father had been charged approximately $250 by the hotel. She assumed this was payment for another night, which she hoped would allow her to rest instead of driving three hours back home to Miami, Florida.

Threat level: Friends of the Miami-Dade Public Library has warned that the amendment could lead to mass library closures and job cuts. Amendment 3 is expected to slash library funding by $21 million next year, or about 17% of their budget, according to county projections. That gap would increase to $38.7 million, or 31% of the budget, by 2028. The latest: The nonprofit plans to lobby state and county leaders, and work with partners to find long-term funding solutions. The group is also asking the community to chip in with donations, write letters of support and visit their local libraries to demonstrate the demand. What they're saying: Kristy Quiros, a board trustee and advocacy chair with Friends of the MDPL, tells Axios she hopes private donors "will rise to the occasion, but everybody is about to have their hand out because this is so much more far
