From med school struggles to post-comserve uncertainty, this episode is a raw reflection on the moments that didn’t go as planned. I open up about my own failures and how I’ve slowly started to see them as part of the doctoring journey, not the end of it. If you’ve ever felt behind, broken, or misunderstoo...
