Welcome back to Mediverse !
In this episode, Saied and Asif are joined by Dr Alaa Dakak, a consultant in Intensive Care and Acute Medicine, currently working within the NHS.
We discuss life as a doctor, juggling the overwhelming responsibilities of consultancy, whilst also finding joy and fulfilment from the role, and finding time outside of work for other interests.
Dr Dakak also shares his advice about pursuing medicine as a career and who it is suitable for, and talks to us about his journey of choosing the right speciality, all while managing stress and striving to uphold the values of the National Health Service.
