What does it really take to become a surgeon — and what does it cost?
Join us for an afternoon with Frances Mei Hardin, MD, as she reads from and signs her debut memoir, Surgeon on the Edge.
Part reckoning, part reinvention, the book pulls back the curtain on medical training: the burnout, the unwritten rules, and what it means to reclaim your own voice inside one of the most demanding professions in the world.
Frances is an ENT surgeon, writer, and startup CEO whose work centers on the hidden curriculum of medicine — the things they don't teach in school, like how to communicate under pressure, advocate for yourself, and navigate the dynamics that quietly shape a career.
She's also the co-founder of The Hippocratic Collective, a physician-led media company using storytelling and community to push for cultural change in medicine.
Whether you work in healthcare, love narrative nonfiction, or have ever had to fight for your place in a system not built for you, this one will resonate.
