Well said.
This is such an informative post! I really appreciate the detailed breakdown of the topic."
True
In my view, shame is one of the biggest reasons people lose their confidence. When someone feels ashamed, they start thinking they are not good enough. This can stop them from trying new things or speaking up, even if they have talent. Shame makes small mistakes feel like big failures. Over time, this lowers self-belief. I believe everyone makes mistakes, and that’s how we learn. Instead of feeling ashamed, we should accept our flaws, learn from them, and move forward. Confidence grows when we stop judging ourselves and start believing in who we are.
Teaching through shame doesn’t build strong doctors, it builds silent ones. Respectful feedback fosters growth, curiosity, and real learning. It’s time we choose compassion over humiliation in clinical education
This is a very significant topic to put forward, and it is well-written as well.
Very well said. Noone should be ashamed of the career path they choose.
