S6E16: (The Illusion of) Perfectionism in Medicine

There are no perfect patients, and it is crucial to acknowledge that doctors are not perfect either. As humans, we are bound to make mistakes.

In S6E16, Leen, Margaux, Hạ, and Lina talk about the pressures to be "perfect," the illusion of perfectionism in the field of medicine, and encourage embracing imperfections and recognizing the opportunities they bring for growth and improvement.
