Hi Kathleen, I have been in this space, which can be debilitating. I felt this throughout my PhD journey, despite so many wonderful reassurances by friends, faculty, and my dissertation chair. I half-jokingly said during my graduation speech, "I want to get out of here before you decide my degree was a mistake!"
Thanks for sharing such a timely and appropriate post!

I do understand, Dr. Taylor. Mine wasn't in medical school, but in nursing school, it was rough. I think they're more lenient now but back then it was very hard. So glad we both made it through.
I agree about the leniency. Seems like education is getting softer, at least in certain fields. (and just call me Larry. No need for the Dr routine. Just another guy who's had a crazy thirst for learning.
