Running On Empty: The Junior Doctor

Prestigious. High-earning. Selfless. For many of us, it's hard to look beyond these labels to imagine a doctor's life as anything but desirable.
In this episode of Running On Empty, a junior doctor-one among the thousands running our public healthcare system every day-tells us about his experience with burning out under a system that pushes its people to their physical, mental, and emotional limits, and how expectations don't always align with reality.

Thanks for sharing and for all your hard work. Nobody should endure this kind of work hours and demands.. you’re human after all. Maybe they should look into this and work something out for our doctors

Sad to see our doctors not having personal time to themselves at all.
