An enormous thanks to Camille Kotton and Cameron Wolfe – your dedication and incredible collaboration made this project possible. Thanks also to my daughters Elana and Kayla, who somehow taught me more about life and love (and popular culture) than I could ever teach them. And to my husband, Joel Fishman, who has been there since the beginning, xiii thank you for sharing your life with me. Your unwavering love and support has shaped my growth as a physician and a person.
