First things first: This first blog post for My First Cadaver is about the first episode, which is also Faith Aeryn’s first podcast. That may seem like a lot of “firsts”, but we here at My First Cadaver are in the “firsts” business. Med school and residency “firsts”, to be specific. And when we say “business”, what we actually mean is “beeswax”. You know, the sort you’re supposed to mind-your-own, but we don’t mind if you don’t! We love hearing and sharing real, personal stories and have found that, when chosen with care and intention, they can also be a fun and important tool for learning how to process the complex emotions associated with becoming a doctor and, in same cases, not becoming one.
