Hey there, amazing doctors humans! We're back with another episode of Am I Doing It Wrong?


Have you ever looked up to someone so much they practically become a medical deity in your mind? We've all been there! This week, we're diving deep into the concept of "pedestaling" and how it can actually hold you back from what you truly want to achieve.

This episode is packed with insights and aha moments, so grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and get ready to transform your relationships with the amazing doctors you look up to.


Here are the key points:

  • Pedestaling is putting someone on a pedestal, admiring them greatly and possibly to an excessive degree. This can create a distance between you and the person you admire.
  • When you pedestal someone, you might:
  • This can be negative for both people involved.
  • The person being pedestaled might feel pressure to live up to your expectations and might not be approachable.
