You can learn to thrive despite complications
3 month program
Without overwhelming time committment, without changing who you are. You can find satisfaction is surgery without the suffering.
If you’re a female surgeon, you already know a lot about complications. Even though we know it is inevitable, we also know there has to be a better way to deal with them.
The only way to not have complications is to not operate. And you may be at the point where you wonder if you should stop.
But you didn't spend more than a decade in training to quit now.
But you also know that you can't keep going on like this.
If you are feeling guilt, shame, overwhelm, and uncertainty around operating, then you are in the right place.
By the end of this program,
you will …
-
Understand how you got to this point in the first place.
We are products of our past experiences. We will look back at experiences that influenced how we feel now. -
Approach future operations with confidence.
Prepare ahead with proven strategies that will let you approach operations with confidence. -
Approach complications without regret.
Interact with patients and families in positive ways and be present in the moment so you are not reliving moments and wishing "I wish I had just said..." -
Answer the question that you really have...
Is this job worth it? You will learn how to get out of your way and thrive in your surgery career despite the possibility of complications.
"Can I really keep doing this?"
Complications take away your confidence. They can take away the joy of surgery.
It’s hard to look at all you have achieved when you cannot get past the sense of failure that complications can instill in you.
You may not know what to do yet, because you aren’t exactly sure what the problem is.
If everyone has complications, why does it feel like it is just me?
If this is how every day is going to be like, why should I continue to do this if I am going to feel this miserable?
I can help you figure it out.

I can’t wait for you to join "It's Complicated" program.
We weren't taught how to deal with complications in residency. We were never taught that we can overcome our insecurities and approach complications in a way that empowers us. We all want to take care of patients, but it is OK to take care of ourselves, too. It’s not too late to learn how.
Come join me for “It’s Complicated” Program. It is a coaching and self-study program designed to help you learn how to deal complications so you can avoid wasting time with regret.
So you can:
- approach operations with confidence
- not avoid interactions with patients
- deal with complications without shame
- sustain your surgery career
This opportunity is risk free- you can cancel after 14 days if it is not for you.
