Suzanne Koven: Letter to a Young Female Physician
What an absolute treat and privilege it was to speak to Dr Suzanne Koven http://suzannekoven.com/ about her incredible book Letter to a Young Female Physician.
I thought we would talk about imposter syndrome and women in medicine but actually we had a truly fantastic conversation about all sorts of other topics especially the power of stories to connect, the fact that doctors must be human first and then medical. We explore honesty, coming to writing later in life and the value of acknowledging our own doubts, foibles and vulnerabilities.
This book is an absolute gem. Undoubtedly one I shall recommend and pass on to multiple other (particularly but not exclusively female) doctors .
