About Me

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 long road to becoming a surgeon and everything that the process takes from you along the way. Currently practicing full-time as an otolaryngologist in TN.
I AM HERE AS A RESOURCE FOR RESIDENTS, FELLOWS, AND MEDICAL STUDENTS TO EMERGE FROM THE DARKNESS AND LEARN TO LIVE A FULFILLING LIFE.
