Description

In this episode, I speak with Tony Chin-Quee, an otolaryngologist turned writer, about his journey from medicine to storytelling. We talk about the challenges of professional identity in healthcare, the process of writing a memoir, and lifting the curtain on medical television writing (including what it was like working on Grey's Anatomy!). Tony shares powerful insights on navigating the hidden curriculum of medicine and the emotional toll of training. At the heart of our conversation is the invitation to find the courage to follow what truly excites us.
