The truth is that you are who you are, highly successful in that arena, because the power of other people has helped you get there. But in those areas, it was a lot easier for you to show vulnerability. No one expects a first-year resident to know how to do a heart transplant. It was easier for you to ask for help. And I’m positive that your patients are glad you’re not a ‘self-made surgeon.’ You learned from the best. Now you just have to figure out how to do that same thing in the rest of your life, and not be a ‘self-made human.’”
