Join Dr. Frances Mei Hardin on her mission to dissect the complexities of the medical profession in her debut episode of "Promising Young Surgeon." As an ENT specialist with a passion for reform, Dr. Hardin peels back the drapes to reveal the raw truths of a surgeon's life and the cultural issues within medical education. This isn't your typical medical hero's journey; it's an honest exploration of the challenges faced by doctors and the need for systemic change.

In this episode, we navigate the turbulent waters of residency, the emotional toll of patient care, and the daunting task of starting a solo practice in a rural community. Dr. Hardin doesn't just operate on patients; she operates on the very fabric of the medical establishment, stitching together a narrative of resilience and reform.
