  • S4 - Episode 18 - [Article Read] - Why is it so hard to take a break in Medicine?
    Oct 26 2025

    Medicine is tiring and this whole doctor-ing thing can be exhausting. So why when we need to take time out is it so hard to do so? I took time off training last year, and had a lot to ponder about. So, listen as I read my article originally written and published in AusDoc about The Rest Dilemma: Why Doctors Struggle to Take a Break.
