she wrote this book mostly chronologically, so the first half was indeed relatable to young female physicians with fascinating anecdotes about residency. then as it progressed it simply felt like she just wanted to talk about herself + personal life. if it was advertised as a memoir i wouldve just avoided it but instead she implies this is advice for future doctors when it really shouldve j been told to her therapist

talking more about this bc she addresses the racism she witnessed in the medical field (ex. the weird need doctors feel to talk about patients by their race as if it is a direct cause of their disease) and then proceeds to NOT TAKE HER OWN LESSONS and refer to patients by their race ONLY for the rest of the book. there were j so many instances of similar behavior it pmo. i dont relate to white women

also ANOTHER THING she addresses the racism she sees in the medical field (ex. doctors feeling the strange need to write up patients by their race as if it has somehow inherently caused their diseases) and then proceeds to NOT LISTEN TO HERSELF and address patients by their race only for the entire reat of the book. there was just so many instances of this it pmo. i struggle to relate to white women writers very often i fear
