She is a practicing physician for the last 17 years and she has had the unique experience of being a doctor, a patient, and a caregiver to a child with congenital heart disease in the US healthcare system. This has driven her to share her story via publishing her new book May 30th 2023. The book is called “The Parts We Don’t Talk About!”. Her goal is to break the doctor silence about things that are imperfect in our lives and highlight perseverance in the face of failures and physical challenges. The book addresses biases during medical training from colleagues, racial inequality while seeking professional growth, pregnancy and the treatment of doctors living with chronic disease, such as Multiple Sclerosis.
Her goal is to inspire others to continue on their journey despite the doubts, the burnout and at times self sabotage. The journey I have undertaken while writing this book has been both inspiring and humbling. I am outing myself as a patient with MS that is a doctor to inspire others to persevere in the midst of their difficult moments. That he/she/they may understand that in life there are no mistakes, only adjustments.
