## Resource

What's the one word that medicine avoids at all costs? Failure. In Part 3 of the Artifacts of the Mind series, we stop whispering about imposter syndrome...and start confronting the culture that fuels it: perfectionism. This episode widens the lens. Maddi and Jeff talk with David Fessell, MD and Frank J. Lexa, MD MBA about perfection culture and how the illusion of infallibility doesn't protect us - it holds us back. Because in medicine, perfection culture amplifies self-doubt...while mistakes, near misses, and discomfort are the reps that actually build expertise. You don't want a fair-weather pilot when the plane hits turbulence. You want the one who's been through it - and knows how to respond. So don't fear the F-word. Use it.
