“I loved working with learners. You're sharing your art and you get the joy of watching another human thrive. So, it can be both ways, right? You can share the art and joy of learning with them, or you could take all the trauma that was inflicted on you and then change the Socratic method of learning and turn it into something completely different and transfer it to them.” - Amna Shabbir MD
