Casting, Golden Weekends, & Surgeons

In this week’s Weekend Reads, I reflect on how easily the past can get oversimplified when we weren’t there to live it. What gets lost when complex training experiences are summarized too quickly, and why it matters to hold both progress and memory with care. I share a quiet story from residency that has stayed with me for years. A moment in a casting room. A senior surgeon. And a small, human act that showed what professionalism and leadership can look like under pressure. Thanks for listening.
