Now you can fail at failing?!
Episode 178
Friday, 6 November, 2026

If you had to make a CV of your failures, what would be on it? This week, the Sharp Scratch panel talks to Professor Melanie Stefan about their failures, but also the pressure to turn every setback into a success story. They discuss who is actually allowed to fail, and why the intensity of medical school, in particular, makes it so difficult to recover from.
