Thank you for these candid convos! The surgical profession needs this.
Dr. Hardin says the things everyone else wants to ignore, and really exposes you to the reality of working in healthcare. She is so calculated in her mission yet finds a way to add her personality and humor into each episode. I’m learning and cracking up at the same time!!
