#015. This episode, Dr. Candice Myhre and I go deep into facing sexism in medicine, imposter syndrome and the coolest medical emergency story imaginable. Dr. Myhre is an Emergency Medicine Physician at Wilcox Hospital in Kauai who fell in love with surfing as a burnt-out third-year resident in Training. Since then she has volunteered numerous times as a surf doctor in underdeveloped countries like Indonesia, Mentawai Islands, Fiji, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Mexico, Bhutan, Ghana.

She firsthand describes how in 2013, while surfing, she saved a woman’s life who was hit by a 26-foot boat in the middle of the South Pacific and suffered life-threatening injuries. She re-enacted the story on Untold Stories of the ER and the photographs went viral when she spoke out against sexism in medicine on July 24, 2020.
