You are not too busy for 10 life lessons I've learned during medical school

I finished my FINAL day of medical. We are still waiting on match day results but next time I talk to a patient I will be introducing myself as "doctor"?! Wild. These past years of medical school have been the hardest, most transformative, wildest, and most rewarding years of my life. Thank you to all those who have followed my journey, truly your support has made the world of a difference <3  So, here are the top 10 lessons I've learned during my time in medical school. No, these aren't going to be about the kreb's cycle or physiology. I like to believe these lessons transcend the medical field and are pretty applicable to anyone in their early to mid-20s that is navigating career, friendships, self-confidence, and more.  P.S. this is a true candid stream of consciousness. I apologize in advance for the rambles :)  *DISCLAIMER: No information in this podcast constitutes medical, nutrition, or mental health advice.
