My daughter quit after FY2, and became an Anglican priest. The NHS was a lot simpler in my day. I came to the UK in 1983, as a refugee from the civil war in Sri Lanka.
I thought I would be full-time even after I had my child, but it was the most pleasant surprise that during my mat leave, I decided full-time wasn't for me anymore and in that I decided part-time and found my passion with helping IMGs. Part-time in medicine , doesn't mean failure.
I’m also out of NHS training as of August 2022 for a different reason but also not missing medicine which makes me question whether it was worth it! I enjoy it but the lack of a life outside a hospital really gets you down. Not to mention, some of the negative comments on this video really make you feel the toxic energy that thrives in the healthcare profession which is truly sad. A career so purported to be important but it’s a double edged sword at times. I wish you all the best in figuring stuff out and hope you enjoy all your time out of traditional work!
This has resonated with me so much!! Thank you for sharing what's going on your mind and your thought process. A lot of us are in the same boat and yet, it always feels like we're alone! Here's hoping the future will be brighter
Your lovely , I can quite easily just sit back and listen to your monologues full of honesty and integrity. I have had periods of time out from my career and always enjoyed and made the most of it. It definitely makes you understand work is not the be all and end all we can easily get channelled into. You will never regret it imho.
There is an amazing world of opportunity out there outside of the soul-destroying conveyor belt of postgrad training. Even more so these days than ever before! Good luck 💫
Do what makes you happy and never mind what others say. Being a doctor is not the be all of life and it certainly doesnt pay. People expecrt the world from doctors not thinking about how the doctors and nurses feel. The harsh reality is this, compassion and kindness are all well and good but in the end they just dont pay the bills. Its up to all of us to keep healthy and to not put pressure on the doctors and nurses who do these jobs. Doctors are not charity workers, they are paid to do a service which is very hard to do and is never fully apprechiated.
This is my first youtube comment! I'm so happy your video came up when I was mindlessly searching for residency day-in-the-life videos to perhaps inspire me to apply to a training program (looks like youtube had other plans haha). I'm currently a young (?) funemployed doctor in the Philippines, doing side hustles here and there to get by. I'm pleasantly surprised at how I resonated with most, if not all, your sentiments Surina! It's like you pulled out tangled up streams of thought from my brain and just laid them straight and flat in front of me. This journey off the conveyor belt can seem a bit lonely, but I'm glad I found this channel to find some sense of belonging. I'm still trying to figure out if I still want to pursue further training, and where, since the Philippines is notorious for hating their healthcare workers (meaning we get paid one of the LOWEST salaries across all career paths), or if I just wanna travel and be happy about not rushing to get to the next deadline. So I'm curious to see what else you'll be up to! Thank you for reigniting this fire inside of me!
I'm quitting Medicine too! Currently working in the NHS.. I am trying to look ahead into the future... this can't be the end for me.. I can do something better with my life.
Good for you that already made your decision. I am medical student love medicine but mostly I love learning and really want to create other life for me but have no clue how. Good luck to everyone ❤️
Sometimes having a bit of time out, and not going down the conventional career progression route. (Whatever the profession), can actually make you more content and focused. When you do step back onto the career wheel. We are all different. Wishing you well
Dear Surina, I have the same thoughts. I am also looking for answers. I quit pediatrics residency when I was Alamo about to finish because of health reasons. I surprised at why I don’t miss it, because I get to sleep, eat well, go exercise, and be relaxed and peaceful. Although to me it seems like you don’t know what you want. I am also unsure about the future but am seeing and learning from others.
I am an Immigrant doctor from Myanmar..relocated to Australia in 2009 with intention of pursuing my full time medical career in hospital but quit after years and now doing part time in corporate healthcare in Perth which I enjoy. Hospital settings isn’t just for me :) only realized that after getting my AMC & MRCP from UK.
Thank you so much for sharing! Especially in the guilt part…. It really hits me sometimes and I’m so glad to hear I’m not alone in this. I’m a medical student and a content creator on Instagram and TikTok at the same so I completely relate🫶🏼🫶🏼
I'm an anesthesia consultant and i hate it.. migrating now to another country to start from the bottom.. but I'm very excited since the position is easy for me. anesthesia is very stressful
The the grass is greener thing is so true. Its SO me. I put medicine on hold after a year and am now doing medical engineering and now think about going back 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ but i cant decide for the life of me
Oh how much do I relate to this video!!! I moved from pakistan to UK few years ago. transition was hard. I felt away from home and alien in UK as well. At the same time, I was unsure about Medicine as well. Covid hit in between as well as cherry on top. So your feelings are real. Only advice is … don’t waste time in locuming or trust grade jobs .. Hang in there Take decisions with clear head and proper time. I hope things gets more clear for you.
You are clearly very talented and I have no doubt you will succeed with whatever you choose. I really enjoy your videos, they are very well done. I’m from Brisbane so especially enjoyed those videos 😊
A mature, honest, and eloquent talk. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy watching your videos as I find them full of insight & relatable to a great extent. It's sad to see doctors leaving medicine behind regardless of the reason. I'm an overseas doctor who currently works as a GP trainee in Australia & I've had to go through a lot of hoops plus it took me a while to orient myself to the system. However, on a personal level, I'm not necessarily enjoying medicine or finding it fulfilling, at least at the current stage. Best of luck!
William Shakespeare figured it out over 420 years ago. To thine own self be true. It takes courage to do what you did. Go with the flow and see where it takes you. From my personal perspective, the saddest thing about your decision is that you will be leaving Australia 🥲. You were/are an asset to the Australian community, way beyond your medical contribution. Go well young lady🖖
I do disagree with the ideal that we're supposed to be grateful just to be able to work with members of the public. These are usually the same members of the public who will physically, verbally and sometimes sexually assault us in the workplace. Not everyone is a pleasure to work with, and 'the public' is not a monolith.
Thank you for a very honest reflection. One thing, I don’t go for the New Year resolution thing, you make a decision when you feel you need to, and sometimes when you have to. That seems to be where you are. As regards other peoples investment in your education and training, the biggest investment comes from you, YOU OWN IT, no one else. Make your decision, run with it, and don’t feel guilty. Most people are nice people, any mentor you’ve had should be happy that you’re finding your way in life. Anyone who puts a price on that, isn’t as nice as you may think, just don’t confuse it with people who opine with what they think are your best interests, after all, they might be right. The underlying current is your life belongs to you, nobody else, and some are certain what they want to do from when they first learn to talk, but the rest of us have to feel our way along. That’s exactly what you’re doing, and well done for that. As for part time surgery, as a consumer I’m not enamoured with that. At 70 I’ve had a few procedures, in the private system. Frozen shoulder release, bi lateral hernia repair, and cataracts. I never went for the GP’s referral, although they sometimes coincided with mine. I always reviewed the CV’s on the hospital web site. Heads of department in the public system, university mentors for trainees, people who I felt were competent committed and really had skin in the game. No criticism implied, just another side of the coin. I view the medical profession as an industry, and all disciplines of staff as people who work in it. I resist the temptation of mystique, and if I don’t get the service I expect I take my business elsewhere, as I would anywhere else. No criticism implied, just another side of the coin. I left England in Dec 1987 and have never returned it’s a seductive country; Life is kinder here I think than anywhere else I have been. Don’t be too surprised if you feel homesick for Aussie when you get back. Remember nobody owns your life but you. Looking for the right fit isn’t being selfish, it’s being honest, which is what you’ve been in the videos I have watched. Good luck with your search.
As much as I am sorry to hear you have stepped off the pathway but as long as you are happy in life then that is all that matters. I wish you well in all that you do, whether you stay as a physician or not. Given the state of the NHS at the moment I imagine there are plenty of opportunity for locum work and keeping a good network to provide support; you just have to have the conversation with the right decision makers.
Sometimes we get to a point in our life where we realise we are all parts of the system even that which isn't medicine, and are forever sacrificing time to enjoy ourselves and discover life. I imagine it is hard to step away for long from medicine as you lose skill or aren't looked at as favourably perhaps. But take time to do life if you need that for mental health reasons. We aren't machines, we don't have to all sacrifice to the capitalist system there are ways of trying to get that balance.
I graduated and worked the last four years in Brazil. I'm about to start working in Australia. I'm very excited to have a taste of medicine in a first world country and see how things go ☺️
Can I ask a question; what are your thoughts about being a pathologist or radiologist? Would those non-clinician jobs be better/worse more suitable/less suitable for yourself?
Opinion from a radiology trainee - they can be much better. There will be things you'll miss like actually feeling like a doctor and some of the drama but overall - life is so much better. Work life balance is much better
Have considered radiology a lot because of it's great work life balance but ultimately enjoy the work of a surgeon a lot more. Also quite like patient contact which there is usually less of in radiology and certainly in pathology
@@drsurinataneja Can you guide me (1) where is difficult to become a surgeon in AUSTRALIA or UK ? (2) salary of surgeons in UK Vs Australia (3) kindly arrange twitter space for People like me who seek medical career in UK Vs Aus . Thank you
Career/life chrisis I understand but to leave Brisbane I do not. The only other times I have heard of this happening was due to the pull of family ties.
I understand how you feel, I feel the same way - but after 17 years of experience and 2 specialties and having done my part on the crazy working hours. How do you think the previous generations managed it? Decompensating at this age already? How do you plan to manage this in the future - the older you get, the harder it will be to put up with the long working hours. Your chances of getting a specialty in the UK and AUS are also getting slimmer the longer you remain on a non-training position, and without any type of a specialty you cannot work independently. Now you have hopefully understood it right - the money you got in AUS was not everything. Doing surgical specialist training in part time? You do realise it's impossible, don't you? Maybe as a consultant, but definitely not as a trainee.
In all honesty, there is a difference between perhaps your cohort and hers (mine also). Perhaps we enjoy this career at times, but ultimately the bullying, poor hours, poor pay and conditions and being treated as a substandard human with not even the basic level of respect, coming often from people with the level experience that you perhaps hold, deems it far too great a sacrifice. I worked in management consultancy before medicine and I’ve completely forgotten what it’s like to work in a supportive environment, with colleagues who are happy with where they are in life. Maybe we simply know the sacrifice you made is just not worth it.
@@teresa_katrinahello, I’m considering whether to pursue medicine or another field, after researching a bit, i felt like no other field suits me like medicine. I felt that if i were to do something like business i might not enjoy it since i have no previous experience or interest in it. Do u have any advice regarding my situation? It would be helpful for me
Hii, I have been watching all your videos from uk to Australia and working in Australia and i really like how you present everything. I want to ask you that as an Indian IMG. If I get full registration from APRAH after one year of supervised job in Australia. Does full registration make me eligible for PR in Australia?
If don't mind me asking, why did you leave Brisbane. You lived in such a beautiful apartment in sunny Brisbane. I mean, even if you quit medicine, can you not stay in Australia.
No, you only get a work visa (a 186 visa, employer nomination scheme). When you leave that work, you get 30 days to stay on in Oz for travel, etc. I agree that Brisbane is one of the best places to live in Australia. Queensland is fabulous. They locked everyone out when Covid came along, including the NSW folk! Lol! Nope. No entry!
Hello Can i ask, Is it easier to get into surgical training in the UK rather than Australia? You reckon getting into training in OZ is rather more difficult? (asking because I am aiming to apply for obs & gyn training on oz) Thanks
Mam, as a fresh medical graduate will EMRCS and Basic science of mrcs(3rd edition) be enough for MRCS PART A or do we need to study anything else in addition to this ?
What is this with every post FY doctor at UK feel they need more in life??!?!? Especially those on UA-cam...... As an Indian doctor who has the similar system, we all work cause we like the job, reputation and above all it pays out bills. This career is hard but it doesn't mean you have no other life!! Your just doing the locums to pay your bills ... That's kind of sad and you won't learn and eventually dislike working
The UK junior doctor salary sadly hardly pays the bills. Hasn't kept up with inflation resulting in a real time 26% pay cut. Moreover, it isn't set up for work life balance/having a family/childcare/geographical stability
Good for you Surina. If this was any other field, no one would care that you want to be happy. But as a doctor people feel you should be so lucky to have your job and just put up and shut up. Dont listen to anyone but your own heart. The greatest thing is you’ll always have some locum opportunity or even gp training to fall back on. Good luck with everything! GP (2019)
Anyway I'm only watching your content because I'm an engineer in training and I'm looking for a surgeon for a wife who also has to be of Indian decent, and I'm from South Africa, so I'm hoping listening to you will give me an idea of how your type of woman typically is, because you're my type 😅😎😉
Why are a majority of medical doctors who quit their careers, women? It seems like they took the seat of a more willing candidate who would have become a doctor.
Hi Surina, I think you should come to Canada and become a GP. So many UK doctors are working as family doctors here in Canada and earning at least $200K.
You need stability in your life, and you should be having it if you are actually dating, this is why a woman needs the right man in her life, otherwise this happens ... No direction whatsoever, lost and don't know what you're doing or where you're going 🙄
Please, I don't listen to Andrew Tate, I don't take advice from heathens. Just think about what I'm saying, the problem with you women is that you prioritise careers over building your own family, being married and having kids, that's why you end up not knowing why you're pursuing the things that you're after, because there's no solid foundation, how do you expect to keep going when there's no husband to support you and kids to keep you motivated
My daughter quit after FY2, and became an Anglican priest. The NHS was a lot simpler in my day. I came to the UK in 1983, as a refugee from the civil war in Sri Lanka.

Mam, as a fresh medical graduate will EMRCS and Basic science of mrcs(3rd edition) be enough for MRCS PART A or do we need to study anything else in addition to this ?
I think that's enough
@@drsurinataneja thank you mam.
Hi
There is nothing so fascinating as watching someone make coffee is there?
So... you quit full time medicine to contemplate applying for a full time training post? Clickbaittt.
Go back to medicine --- good luck
What is this with every post FY doctor at UK feel they need more in life??!?!? Especially those on UA-cam...... As an Indian doctor who has the similar system, we all work cause we like the job, reputation and above all it pays out bills. This career is hard but it doesn't mean you have no other life!!
Your just doing the locums to pay your bills ... That's kind of sad and you won't learn and eventually dislike working
The UK junior doctor salary sadly hardly pays the bills. Hasn't kept up with inflation resulting in a real time 26% pay cut. Moreover, it isn't set up for work life balance/having a family/childcare/geographical stability
Good for you Surina. If this was any other field, no one would care that you want to be happy. But as a doctor people feel you should be so lucky to have your job and just put up and shut up. Dont listen to anyone but your own heart. The greatest thing is you’ll always have some locum opportunity or even gp training to fall back on. Good luck with everything!
GP (2019)
Anyway I'm only watching your content because I'm an engineer in training and I'm looking for a surgeon for a wife who also has to be of Indian decent, and I'm from South Africa, so I'm hoping listening to you will give me an idea of how your type of woman typically is, because you're my type 😅😎😉
You aren't her type, by that I mean a loser
Sorry bro pretty sure she’s married / has a very serious boy friend
Good luck bro x
I think u are confused as a hell
U need to clear ur head first before taking any decision
Meditation can be helpful though
Why are a majority of medical doctors who quit their careers, women? It seems like they took the seat of a more willing candidate who would have become a doctor.
Actually if you search more on UA-cam it’s mostly men
Don't think there's any lean toward more women or men doctors leaving. Feel free to link data if you have it
I don't think that is correct. Plenty of male doctors leaving according to the stats
Hi Surina,
I think you should come to Canada and become a GP. So many UK doctors are working as family doctors here in Canada and earning at least $200K.
You need stability in your life, and you should be having it if you are actually dating, this is why a woman needs the right man in her life, otherwise this happens ... No direction whatsoever, lost and don't know what you're doing or where you're going 🙄
What does dating have to do with deciding a career path
I think u have watched Andrw tate videos too much
That comment makes absolutely zero sense.
Lol wat
Please, I don't listen to Andrew Tate, I don't take advice from heathens.
Just think about what I'm saying, the problem with you women is that you prioritise careers over building your own family, being married and having kids, that's why you end up not knowing why you're pursuing the things that you're after, because there's no solid foundation, how do you expect to keep going when there's no husband to support you and kids to keep you motivated
Why are you not married? I would've married you by now! 🙄 Who's that guy lying to you
A lot of UK doctors are leaving medicine because of UA-cam.
UA-cam did not exist before 2010, not in my 20's.
