Description

Lisa Gong is a medical student. She shared a story about the balance between her role as a doctor and connections with patients.

Excerpt:

"One of the most jarring transitions I experienced after starting medical school was learning to respond to being called “doctor”. At first, I would correct them. “Not yet,” I would say. However, I remember one moment during my first year where for the first time, I poignantly knew that I was now a doctor."
