In Episode 1 of the Aesthetics Edit, I revisit a conversation I had with plastic surgeon and cosmetic doctor, Dr Yumiko Kadota. 

Dr Yumiko is the author of "Emotional Female," a memoir about her experiences as a young plastic surgeon navigating a toxic and brutal workplace, and she describes what eventually led to her decision to walk away from the public healthcare system in Australia. Everyone - not just junior doctors - should read this book, and it particularly resonated with me and my own experiences. 

We discussed her story, the challenges of being a woman in medicine, burnout, and - most importantly - recovery.
