Medicine is a field to avoid if you are focused on the microaggressions or have difficulty working through small, unintended mistakes like a mispronounced name or assumption about your background. Undoubtedly, your patients will be dealing with real discomfort and trauma and their needs are far more real and important than these small distractions. Resiliency and perspective are key traits required in this field, and I fear many in this generation lack both.

Interesting, encouraging article. If future doctors could be matched with future patients, I would want to be matched with Doctor-to-be Rama.
