It’s time to make patients the priority. Getting real w/ these amazing panelists about where we are failing & what we need to do to get better. Making care better by being humble, having growth mindset, being aware of your biases.

When I was 15 years old (circa first photo) my Dad told me I should be a cardiologist. Yesterday, I know he would have been proud to witness my (zoom) graduation from fellowship

let us never forget the heroic deeds of so many in our honorable profession.
I often ask Med students
‘Are you capable of absorbing the pain & suffering of others?’
Doing so is both the reward & cost of practicing medicine.
After attending CCU, I need a moment to process it.
I hope by sharing I give y’all permission to do the same.🫀
