@lee_c_zhao Thank you for writing this and articulating what many of us feel!

Something I’ve never shared publicly before. Early in residency, I placed a “simple" suprapubic tube. It went fine. Then my patient died. I nearly walked away from surgery forever. Turns out residency never ends. The doubt, the what-ifs, the crushing weight of decisions… they follow you your whole career. Here’s how I’ve learned to carry it anyway: leezhaomd.org/post/the-endle… @AmerUrological #MedTwitter #Surgery

Our Montefiore team is excited to cheer on @farzzz_kassam at the @NYSAUA chief's debate!
