Becoming a physician is a long process, and to get where we are, we've had to hold ourselves to very high standards. Often times, we are our own harshest critics.

In our profession, that can make things difficult. We are human. We make mistakes. And sometimes those mistakes are the difference between life, death, and disability.

You must find your own way to forgive yourself for mistakes and move on. Whether through talking with colleagues, meditation, prayer, sharing with friends and loved ones, etc, it is necessary to find a way to cope with imperfection.
