I reflect on how medicine changed me, teaching me to care deeply for patients while embracing a life beyond the hospital.
END OF FY 2
I finish the Foundation Programme, reflect on two transformative years and step forward as a fully warranted doctor.
Crossroads
I fail MRCS Part B, choose a gap year and step away from medicine to travel the world before returning stronger.
Stability
I find stability in orthopaedics, reclaiming time for the sea, fitness, friends and study after a year that aged me fast.
Unravelling
I lose myself to medicine, burnout and hundred-hour weeks before rebuilding a life beyond hospital walls.
