Someone once told me doctors are always afraid to fail.
He’s not wrong. We’re trained to be straight A students, to follow the system, to always have a back up plan.
As house officers, we have our MO to fall back on. Even as medical specialists, we have consultants to guide us.
But no one told me before in private practice, you’re on your own. There’s no safety net. You either make it, or fail and lose money.
The past year has been challenging and I know 2026 wont be easiest. But with the right team and mindset… we create a safety net for one another.
In 2026, we keep showing up, for ourselves and for each other. 🫶🏻
