“You are what your baby needs, not your breast milk,”
“Before I only had anxiety and now, I have confidence,”
“What your patients need is you. It’s YOU.”
“But here’s the thing about medicine. Anything you choose is going to become routine, eventually, and so you have to look for the thing where you get something more.”
—and other quotes about the absolute insanity of raising healthy children by today’s standards. Please enjoy my conversation with pediatrician and writer Alison Escalante, MD about the genesis of her career from history major to med school to TEDx speaker, with advice for new parents and new pediatrics practitioners alike.
