Were you a great resident?

Me too

Were you the one that was kind, flexible, accommodating, hardworking?

Me too

Were you the one who left residency and worked and worked and worked, looking for validation, wanting to hear that you could take a break, that you could get the help and support you needed to take care of patients exactly the way that you wanted too, and not the way that your system expected you too (rapidly, with empathy, thoroughness, but RAPIDLY and meeting all your HEDIS and Press-Ganey metrics. Did I say rapidly?)???

Me too

Today I’m sharing 5 things that I wish I could have understood leaving residency. 14+ years later, I’m still learning these lessons, but so much more clear on why this is needed, and what I want for MYSELF as a human, let alone as a working physician mom.
