About Me
Frances Mei Hardin, MD
Former Tri-organ healing mercenary
Hi, I’m Taylor.

Just kidding, I’m obviously not Taylor Swift, but how sweet would that be though? What if I told you I’m the Taylor Swift of head and neck surgery? Well, I’m not that either. That would be like, Halstead or some shit.

My name is Frances Mei Hardin, MD and I’m here for some real talk about the culture of medicine and how we got here. I left my full-time ENT practice and am now the CEO of the Hippocratic Collective, an author, consultant and vibes coordinator.
I AM HERE AS A RESOURCE FOR RESIDENTS, ATTENDINGS, AND MEDICAL STUDENTS TO EMERGE FROM THE DARKNESS AND LEARN TO LIVE A FULFILLING LIFE.
Medicine can be one of the most brutal, soul-crushing experiences you will ever go through. I've been there. Here are some of my qualifications.
12
years in the rat race
1,000
hours spent crying in the hospital basement
400
times I considered quitting

YOU DON'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE ALL BY YOURSELF
I am here to lend a helping hand

Rethinking Residency

We believe doctors deserve better.
Better support. Better role models. Better tools to reclaim our time, creativity, and power. We're not here to tweak the system, we're here to transform it.
Podcast
I try to be as honest and authentic as I can, showing my struggles as well as what is possible when you take the time and space to heal from residency.
