Loved our time together, navigating the rough but rewarding waters of #medicine. You don’t have to be a shark to avoid being a minnow. Personalities can distract. Professionalism, data & education can help course correct 👍🏽.
The podcast is now online, with Jaws intro music and all. It was fun discussing how to engage with colleagues who may, or may not, be just swimming by. @TrudyWuMD @DoctorNoMD @NehaVapiwala 🦈
