Sleep-Deprived Surgeons & French Jewel Thieves: A Halloween Episode

It’s Halloween on Social Rounds, and Tony and Frances Mei are in rare form. Between witch hats, hangovers, and parental sleep deprivation, they cover everything from the science of “short sleepers” (can you really thrive on four hours of sleep?) to the most audacious Louvre jewel heist in recent history.In true Social Rounds fashion, they tie it all back to medicine — what surgeons can learn from jewel thieves about staying cool under pressure, why residency interviews bring out everyone’s inner weirdo, and whether charisma can actually be taught (spoiler: Frances Mei thinks it can, Tony isn’t so sure).Stay for the unfiltered advice for medical students, residents, and attendings — and maybe a few tips for your next great escape.Hosted by:Tony Chin-Quee: https://www.instagram.com/wheyouat/Frances Mei Hardin: https://www.instagram.com/francesmeimd/Produced by: The Hippocratic CollectiveChapters:0:00 Halloween stories & hangovers5:00 Inside Baseball: short sleepers and residency PTSD14:50 Outside Baseball: the Louvre heist25:30 Social Rounds: how to survive interview season42:00 Why charisma can (maybe) be learned
