🩺 Why did you decide to become a Doctor?
- “Because every life is precious, and I wanted to dedicate mine to help others live theirs.”

🩺 What do you enjoy most about being a Doctor?
- “Being trusted with people's most vulnerable moments — and helping them through. And also to witness and share a joy of recovery, clarity and renewed strength.”
