Nobody talks about the culture. The blame. The burnout. The silence when someone makes an error. You're inside a team that's broken — and changing it means becoming the person willing to say so.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Advocating for a patient when the system's incentives point away from their best interest — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
