How To Survive A Bad Interview: A Dress Rehearsal for Public Scrutiny

This week on Social Rounds, Tony Chin-Quee takes on his most unhinged role yet: hostile interviewer.In a special Social Rounds Book Club episode, Frances Mei Hardin sits down for a deliberately uncomfortable, occasionally inappropriate, and deeply revealing mock interview ahead of the release of her debut memoir, Surgeon on the Edge. What starts as a Groundhog Day cold open quickly devolves into brutal questions about shame, failure, race, crying at work, bystander silence in medicine, and whether writing a vulnerable physician memoir is brave—or just bad PR.What unfolds is part satire, part media training, part cultural critique, and part love letter to anyone who has ever survived medical training and lived to tell the story (even imperfectly).If you’ve ever wondered:how authors actually prepare for press,why likability is still weaponized against women in medicine,or how to hold your composure when an interviewer is clearly trying to break you,this episode is for you.Pre-order Surgeon on the Edge now, and consider this your warning: the real interviews will be easier than this one.Hosted by:Tony Chin-Quee: @wheyouatFrances Mei Hardin: @francesmeimdProduced by: The Hippocratic Collectivehttps://www.amazon.com/Surgeon-Edge-Frances-Mei-Hardin/dp/B0G3JWCCH4
