Discovered the magic of surgical care on rotations. Now on a quest to find my role in the Theater and imagine a justice-based, trauma-informed, healing-centered practice for the career. Looking to learn, grow, and connect.

Representation and institutional support is critical. Just 2 years ago, I never imagined I'd find family and support in the field of surgery. Now, I can't imagine it without them. @OutSurgeons

"Trauma-informed" definitely has buzzword status. Really appreciated @somustakeem enumerating the diversity of experience that could be ascribed to the term and challenging me/us to think critically about how it is employed and who is included during @repair_project panel

I know I’m very late to this, but even Paul Kalanithi thought the loss of family was too high a price to pay for a career in medicine. On the edge of my seat for what changed his mind and if he found a better balance before the end.

First question...what resources are out there for partners of doctors/surgeons?
2
Especially if that decision was made a significant time into the relationship

Or was this a reason you decided not to go into surgery?
In other words...how did others talk to their partner(s) about the decision to go into surgery and what that will mean for the relationship? B/c it seems like it will affect them as much as me
