Dr. Lily Erdahl is a loving single mother of two children originally from Iowa City, Iowa.  She's also an accomplished surgeon, educator, and podcast host.  In this episode, Lily discusses her voyage from Iowa State University as a wide eyed undergrad through her medical training in Pennsylvania and Minnesota to her current position at the acclaimed University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics back in her home town.  She discusses the rigors of working in the medical profession and the challenges of balancing her very important work as a breast surgeon with her equally important work as a mother raising smart and healthy children while sharing her emotional health with both patients and her kids.  Lily talks about how divorced homes can still remain a family, the science of breast cancer, her Lazarus like pet cat, and much much more!  This is Those Who Do: Surgeon w/ Lily Erdahl M.D.
