Heading into clinic and just wanted to share a few things that have been sitting with me lately. Work hard. Work harder. Nothing works unless I do. If I’m asking someone to show up for me, I have to meet that with real effort—and I promise you, that’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m also reminded constantly: I don’t know everything. Just because I’m a doctor doesn’t mean I’ve stopped learning. I learn from my patients, my team, my mentors—every single day. When things get hard (and they do), I come back to this: have integrity. Do the right thing, even when no one’s watching. When I’m unsure, I think—what would my parents say? Can I go to sleep knowing I stood by my values? That usually points me in the right direction. And finally—ask for help. Be wise enough to know when you need it, and humble enough to accept it. That one’s taken me a while to learn. Thanks for being here. Just felt like sharing. ❤️
