I will stand outside for more than three hours in scrubs and a white coat in 95 degree weather to support gun reform. What are you willing to do to prevent another firearm related death?

I give you the Dunning-Kruger effect. Doing well in medical school lands you atop mount stupid only to hit the valley of despair during residency and slowly build up your fund of knowledge until you are an expert at your craft. He will learn (hopefully) but it will take time.

I am a surgical resident and I have undergone a lumbar puncture and about a dozen colonoscopies. Getting an IUD has been my most painful and traumatic medical experience. We as a profession do not take female pain seriously enough. I will spend my career working to fix this.

And she has played an enormous role in my life! I always had a family to spend holidays with in Texas and have been so lucky to be mentored and sponsored by this incredible woman. We should all strive to do a fraction of the things that

I am a CT surgeon, and I’m privileged to play an enormous role in the lives of all four of my children as well as those of my patients and their families. To be clear, women are wanted, needed, and can succeed in CTSurgery.

I have only ever seen OR gowns in L or XL, do they even make smaller sizes? Endoscope is challenging to use for folks with small hands. My Med school used to have different white coats for men and women and the men’s had larger pockets.

I think individual achievement is emphasized in medical school/ resident selection while teamwork is essential to thriving in residency and our healthcare system requires you to play well with others. I agree we do not do a good enough job evaluating for these attributes.
