"I am proud of myself for everything I've overcome but I also think it's ridiculous some of the sutff I had to go through to get here and I think some of it made me a better person and I think some of it was just bad to go through."This episode is with Dr. Cornelia Griggs, who is a pediatric surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital.In this episode we talk about:- Her memoir "The Sky was Falling" about her time working in NYC during the pandemic- Finding out her husband was sick shortly after they got married as surgical residents- The decision to have kids in training- Living with her kids away from her husband for a year while she finished fellowship (this just so happened to be when the pandemic hit)- Her thoughts on the tension between training needing to be rigorous in order to become a surgeon but also understanding people are humans who will face challenges and need time to take care of themselves- and so much more!
