"I think I put that pressure on myself kind of to begin with that I just wanted to prove to everyone that I could be a pregnant resident and still function like a normal non-pregnant resident... I was taking primary call every third day up until 36 weeks so that was definitely challening as time went on. Like doing reductions with a big pregnant belly is not the easiest thing in the world. And everyone in the room is like "you're going to reduce my hip?" And you're like "Yes, I am going to reduce your hip".

This episode is with Dr. Eileen Colliton, an orthopedic surgeon completing her hand fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

We talk about:
- Not wanting to have kids and changing her mind
- Having a 5 week maternity leave as an OBGYN chief resident
