Chapter 05: Uncertain about a Career at MD Anderson

Dr. Escalante explains her career moves as she was nearing the end of her residency and describes the process that brought her to MD Anderson in 1988, to be part of the new Section of General Internal Medicine headed by Edward Rubenstein. She recalls that she had done a rotation at MD Anderson when she was an intern and found it very difficult to adjust to a context in which patients were doing poorly.
