Eric K. Singhi: Remember to be kind to yourself

Eric K. Singhi shared a post by Mark Lewis, on X:

“Mark Lewis is absolutely right. On social media, we often highlight our successes, myself included. In the spirit of transparency, here are just a few of my recent setbacks:

ASCO YIA
SITC YIA
ASCO Education Scholar Program

Remember to be kind to yourself.”

“As the sun sets on ASCO24 I’d be remiss not to say that I’m worried about my colleagues.

I worry we are crushing one another with colossal expectations, with our emails and CVs.

You are more than your publications and presentations.

Please don’t tie your self-worth to brass rings.

And, on a personal note, it took me a LONG time to separate my patient outcomes from my self-esteem as an oncologist.

Here’s to being the inward beneficiaries of the same compassion we show our patients

Until next year …

Please be kind to yourself,

Mark.”
