CW: death (child & adult), child abuse, ableism, fatphobic & trans-exclusionary vibes (as is common when dealing with the medical/health field as a whole, apparently), sexual assault 
overall i enjoyed reading about Dr Harper & her beginning years in the medical field. mostly the last 1/3rd kind of got under my skin, but that may be a preference thing. a lot of good insight here, though the author is big into forgiveness to grow while I am a firm proponent of you don't owe anyone anything, not even forgiveness. 
you can absolutely grow & flourish without needing to forgive someone who hurt you. but that's just me and that's ok!
