Resident Doctor: Work-Life Balance | EP5
In this episode I interviewed Dr @eunjint, a New Zealand Resident Doctor who is training in internal Medicine. We discussed day in the life of a resident doctor, how she maintains work life balance, and some aspects that she wish she knew before becoming an intern/ resident doctor. For medical students or aspiring doctors, I hope this is an insightful episode!

Yo haha I appreciate the support Adam!
I had a senior Doctor say to me the notion of work life balance is false within Medicine, especially surgery. He cited consultants who quit medicine to become authors or other professions due to the unrelenting on call roster or other pressures. I believe it has to be a calling to enter this field, not simply a path to follow due to ones academic prowess or family pressures, you have to hold close YOUR why, to bear any how.

@@HarryTheAdventurer one thing I’ll add, is some of the specialties notorious for poor work life balance are the ones in which you generally see people move into general practice or other clinical/non clinical roles without constant night shifts. For each has their own tolerance and capacity for work at a given point in their life, however the old adage he or her who sacrifices their health for work will soon have neither health nor work” keep up the great content!
