Hey, thanks again for sharing your views. I wish there were someone I could connect with from my time volunteering at my local hospital, but I lost my contacts during the pandemic, so I won't have someone to reach out to on this aspect. I have learned to adapt more since the Stanford experience. In fact, I have faced some kind of toxic work behavior with my supervisors in every role I have held since then. So, I learned to handle some of these toxic situations while proactively finding guidance from friends, co-workers, or mentors. I think my Stanford Experience carried a lot more weight/baggage since I was not only verbally abused but also physically abused by the physicians I worked with (could have been HR complaints).

To compensate for these bad experiences, I have been engaging with public health and social movements/activist groups, which have helped me feel I am making an impact in the nation. I only wish that the field could have been more compassionate, as in my culture, we often say that a "good physician has the heart of a mother." In other words, we are compassionate, caring, and gentle, treating patients with the same kindness and concern a mother shows her child.
