Listen "Sean Pirkle: Somewhere in Between"
Episode Synopsis
Sean Pirkle is an orthopedic surgeon and the author of Somewhere in Between: A Memoir, a book he first began writing as a medical student to capture the hidden world of modern medical training. In this episode, Sean reflects on navigating Crohn’s disease while in medical school, grappling with impostor syndrome, and learning to balance empathy with the emotional compartmentalization that caring for patients often requires. Le and Tremayne also explore how writing across four years—from cadaver lab to Step 1, first codes, and the pandemic—helped Sean process his experiences and what advice he would give his younger self about facing uncertainty, setbacks, and self-discovery on the path to becoming a doctor.Order Somewhere in Between: A Memoir here Host: Le Nguyen (Instagram: @le_nguyenzzz | LinkedIn: @lenguyen) Host: Tremayne Ansani (Instagram: @tremayne.y.a | LinkedIn: @tremayneansani) Guest: Sean Pirkle (Instagram: @seanpirklemd | LinkedIn: @seanpirkle) Linkshttps://onchartpodcast.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-pirkle-71362187/https://www.amazon.com/Somewhere-Between-Sean-C-Pirkle/dp/B0FCP5MWSYhttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/somewhere-in-between-sean-c-pirkle/1147577501https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Sean-Pirkle-2131912220
