One shameless confession that I have is my love for watching the show "Hannah Montana" on Disney Channel as a kid. The concept of living two different personas as a normal student in the daytime and a rockstar at night spoke to my reality of wanting to be so many things as a child: an actor, a doctor, a dancer, a marine biologist (despite me not knowing how to swim), you name it. This is actually a running theme across our expert guests on the series, who are experts in medicine and science and, at the same time, creatives in their own arenas. Because it's the Holiday season, my gift of a guest to all of you is one truly like Miley Stewart to the pop star on stage. But she is no ordinary girl in the daytime; she actually saves lives and then literally catwalks to the runway and the camera flashes.

We are joined in this episode by Emergency Medicine resident physician and signed fashion model Dr. Samantha Tall. She received her BA in Psychology and Linguistics at Emory University and her MD from Meharry Medical College. She is currently completing her medical residency in Brooklyn, New York. In 2019, she became a part of the Brigham and Women's Hospital STARS Program, where she helped find validation of ICD codes in cardiac amyloidosis. Outside of the trauma bay and triage rooms, Dr. Tall is a commercial and runway fashion model who has been featured in Picton Magazine, Your Williamson, and Mundane Magazine. She has also been seen in the 2018 film Hal King as a background actor.
