“As an ex athlete and physician, I understand how important the health triad of mind, body, and soul truly is. I became a physician because I love taking care of people, initially I thought that meant only medically, but as I continue taking care of patients, I am understanding that mind, body, and soul are interconnected. Taking an integrative approach is the only way to truly take care of the whole person. As an ex-athlete, I understand how life after sports is hard but can be amazing if the lessons learned on the court are incorporated into real life. I bring a certain uniqueness and understanding by being both an athlete and physician” expressed Dr. Stone.
At the start of her academic career, she graduated with her medical degree from Morehouse School of Medicine in 2007. She then went on to perform her residency in internal medicine at the University of South Alabama Medical Center in 2010, and her residency in emergency medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 2015.
“Next stop was EM boards. Internal Medicine boards posed a slight problem, it took two tries, but EM boards proved to be an even bigger problem. However, through the lessons I learned in sports that I applied in the real world such as perseverance and determination, on my 4th attempt I passed. I have to say it is not easy to admit what I initially deemed as my failures, but life and sports have taught me that without failures there is no success. Also, without struggles you sometimes miss how beautiful the journey and the final destination truly is. Life has knocked me down many times, mentally, spiritually, and physically. Growing up, the ONE THING I could depend on was sports to help me but as I continue in this game of life, I’m realizing sports lives within me, through all the amazing lessons it has taught me. Fortitude being one of the main lessons. Fortitude is courage in pain or adversity, GRIT!” as stated by Dr. Stone.
