So my OBGYN attending today is a Black man and when we met he shook my hand and said “I’m probably more excited to see you here than you are seeing me.”

Med school has caused me to miss more funerals, weddings, and birthdays than I can count...and I always feel super selfish when I have to tell people I can't make it. I know medicine is about 'sacrifice' but sometimes success in medicine comes at too great of a cost

I realized I was an outlier in medicine because I am not competitive at all….I will share whatever resources, want you to score as high as possible, and not care if I do better than someone else. I want us all to make it.
stories of gunners are such a foreign concept to me.

Kind of surreal to go from medical school where you are constantly assessed against numbers, your peers, averages and rarely told you are doing well to residency interviews where PDs/faculty are proud of who you are and genuinely impressed with what you have accomplished
