I Thought Experience Was Enough

Before residency, I thought experience was enough.After more than a decade in healthcare, I had taken care of critically ill patients, worked in high-acuity environments, managed emergencies, and developed confidence in my judgment.But my first year of residency challenged that confidence in ways I didn’t expect.This video is about three patients who changed how I think about medicine, expertise, and decision-making.One taught me that doing more is not always helping.One taught me how quickly labels can narrow our thinking.And one taught me that confidence and correctness are not the same thing.The biggest lesson from my first year of residency wasn’t a drug, a procedure, or a guideline.It was this: The best clinicians are not always the ones with the fastest answers. They are the ones who keep asking better questions. #Residency #Medicine #Anesthesiology #Healthcare #CRNAtoMD #MedicalTraining #ClinicalJudgment
