When I had my first vascular event, I was going to quit. I thought that was a sign I was bad and needed to move onto another career. I cried and cried, the patient was fine - I was not.
I told the plastic surgeon I worked for that I couldn’t do it anymore. He never once gave me any praise, but that day he said, “Take a look at your before and after photos, you’re really good.”
I was like really?
Every now and then, when I still doubt myself, I do just that. I remind myself that I’m right where I should be.
My aesthetic is graceful. I am and should be proud of myself.
Today, take a moment to recognise that you’re proud of yourself, too. ❤️
