201 – My beautiful dark twisted fantasy with student loans - a podcast by Dr. Nii Darko

Is it possible to be a Doctor and still feel like you failed at something?!

Well, that’s how I felt. Recently on Twitter, a heated conversation occurred on student loan debt between a medical student and a prominent physician blogger. I felt a certain way about it at first, but after much thought decided to share the stories of two first-generation immigrants’ walk in student loan crisis.

That’s right, Renee joins me to talk about the emotions of chasing a dream and the financial consequences that came along with it.
