So happy to share another specially curated batch of episodes featuring some of the inspiring women we've had on the show.

Part of what clicked for me and part of what I hope to click for other people, especially who came from backgrounds like me, was giving up this idea of needing to save the world.

Deciding that my life and how I live my life matters and deciding that, you know what,

I don't have to be what other people want me to be, like giving myself that freedom to just go with what I wanted to do.

Dr. Laura Scott is a Harvard med school graduate and dermatology resident.

When she's not in clinics or on rotations, she's sharing her journey through medicine and

motherhood on her blog, A Bit of Lacker.

Her candid Instagram posts touch on everything from advice for aspiring medical students

to the challenges of being a fully present mom for her three girls

and a good doctor for her patients.

Thank you for coming from drop off directly here to record in the five minutes you have to yourself once a week.

Yeah, it was just fine.

Thank you so much for having me.

So doctors always get asked to diagnose people.

What is the craziest thing you've ever been asked to diagnose?

Oh, my gosh.

So as dermatologists, everything is visible. And so people feel so much more comfortable showing you anything. So I've literally had a lady whip out her boob right on the elevator. Like, didn't know her. She just saw my white coat, and it says dermatology. And she literally just whipped out her boob on the elevator.

In clinic, I've seen a bazillion crazy things. Of course, but that's appropriate. But it's appropriate. Right. That's the expectation. You know, patients should feel comfortable getting completely undressed. We see this all the time. And breasts I see all the time. But to have a complete stranger just be like, oh, you're a dermatologist. What do you think this?

And she just like completely like palm the nipple, lifted it up.

It was like over here near her axillary fold. And I was just like, wow. I did give her a diagnosis. But I felt like I had to help. You know, she went all out there. So I did feel like I had to help her. It was a little bit of intertrigo, which is very common,

especially here in Miami, where it's humid. So, you know, I made some over-the-counter recommendations, but I was like, okay. You can't just be giving away that medical care for free, though. Well, you can't, yeah. And then there's, you know, there becomes liability issues, too. This is something that's super benign and it's nothing bad, but you know, you can't take on that liability.

Your mom's a nurse.
