Episode # 37 - Perfectionism

In this episode we discuss how medicine selects for people who have a strong tendency for perfectionism.  We reflect on the socialization and enculturation we have experienced that creates that and amplifies that.  We then talk about how being willing to take messy imperfect action or allowing ourselves to do "B minus" work can help move us forward.
