Had the amazing opportunity to write a small scene for the Netflix series ‘Black Mirror.’ If you haven’t checked out ‘Arkangel’ in the new season, be sure to give it a look!

“It’s nothing personal.” Something we hear often after being yelled at for something entirely out of our control. I’ve been seeing some news about physician abuse. Whether verbal or emotional or physical, it happens. And it sucks. But here’s the thing. A lot of times there are laws to protect healthcare workers from abusive patients. But what happens when the abuse comes from fellow colleagues? Senior doctors who feel entitled to demean anyone with a lesser job title? What laws protect us as students from being made to feel inadequate every time we don’t know the right answer? Why are we promoting this idea that scolding/yelling/being mean is the way to make sure we learn? We are promoting a whole different type of abuse and making it seem like it’s okay because hey, it’s nothing personal right? I hope we can find it in us to be kind to everyone around us this week..
I believe that the most dangerous state in learning is when you already know the minimum of information and you are able to use it. Ususally after this you loose any interest in learning and you feel like you know much enough to survive. This is what I am trying to overcome. I’ve been learning English for the past few years and now that I can speak it, it is really difficult for me to learn something new. But I also understood that when you you know something, learning gets more interesting.
I wish I could learn to apreciate more things I have. I remember loving to study medicine, but at the same time complaining so much that I couldn’t just enjoy the journey. Now that I have time to rethink everything I hope just to not make the same mistake twice.
