Everyone has a reason for becoming a surgeon. Some grew up in hospital rooms, saved by the very hands they now aspire to become. Some follow legacies, stepping into careers already carved out for them. Others simply can't stand the sight of suffering and dedicate their lives to easing it.
Simone Sloan's reason is different.
She didn't see herself in medicine.
Not in the surgeons making life-or-death decisions. Not in the white coats commanding respect. The few who looked like her-who spoke like her, who moved through the world like her-were the ones cleaning the floors, delivering trays, working twice as hard for half the recognition.
So Simone made a promise.
She wouldn't just make it-she would break into the one percent. She would take up space where she had never been seen before.
