#MedTwitter Thinking about my interview with Lt. General Nadja West. I still can't believe she agreed to talk to me, I'm starting to realize that great leaders make time to talk to people, even chumps like me. Thank you Dr. West. Full Interview with link:

When a Australian woman veteran buys your book (Woman of the Military) and tells you how important the work you are doing is you see the power of telling stories. Who knew this would ever happen!?!

@badatmathmed Eh who cares about them. We are all on our own unique journey. Enjoy the process and remember to take care yourself and keep doing the things you love.

Normalize matching low.

Normalize not matching.

Normalize choosing to walk away from academia or medicine all together.

Normalize prioritizing yourself.

Normalize not having to feel ashamed for your journey.

@EPharesis Yeah everyone is going to have their own strategy and just gotta find whatever works for you. Are you doing passages everyday? I think that's what helped me is that regardless of what section I was studying I HAD to do CARS passage everyday. Timed.

[Behind the White Coat Podcast @BehindtheWC]

@Daria_Oleinich Yup, I often feel like a lot of people want to start "Pain olympics" and start comparing suffering. We all suffer and experience things differently. We are all on this crazy journey of life. Just listen to one another and don't compare.

@baumlab #firstgen as well here. 2nd year med student. Sometimes it sucks and feel lost most of the time but I think I've learned to embrace it more and enjoy this process and journey more.

[Behind the White Coat Podcast @BehindtheWC]

@theaerialmedic Being a #firstgen just makes you feel some type of way. I love it!
