Why I quit residency... (Part 1)

TW: Suicidal ideation
This video is the first in a two-part series I share about why I resigned from my position as a pediatric resident and left clinical medicine altogether. I share my journey to medicine, burnout, and reasons for leaving.

Here I share what I knew to be true at the time, what I was thinking and struggling with, and my reasons for leaving then. In the next video, I share what I have learned since leaving medicine and more reflection.

*Sorry, the video freezes from 13:28-20:20, the audio is still there and it comes back!
