      It is hard being a doctor sometimes for lots of reasons. Occasionally it’s because you can’t help a person as much as you’d like. Other times it’s because you’re constantly being given tasks to do and you don’t have enough time to do them all. It’s also a lot of hard work to get there and I have to work some weeks where my hours are crazy.

      Having said all that, I find it really rewarding to work as a doctor and get to work with loads of really nice people – both patients and staff – so even though there are times when it is tough, most of the time it doesn’t feel that hard at all 🙂
