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.”

Mark Lewis shared on X/Twitter:

“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.”
