I fail MRCS Part B, choose a gap year and step away from medicine to travel the world before returning stronger.
Sacrifice
I sacrifice my time and patience in emergency medicine, growing into a sharper doctor while questioning the life the job demands.
Resolute
I question my lifelong path to neurosurgery as emergency medicine awakens a passion I never expected – and a choice I can’t ignore.
Healing
I find family, purpose and belonging in geriatric medicine as my favourite rotation draws to a close.
Offside
I work pitch-side with Malta’s U16s, reduce my first shoulder dislocation and realise I need more emergency training.
