IDK if I was lucky, but it’s been over 9 months and I don’t crave a drop of alcohol, the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal after go’ogling and reading Steffon Barkload’s Quit Drinking Forever, not even within the first 30 days after I quit and told no one, did not need AA meetings or meds either.

I got exam in 3 weeks in Milton Keynes and just panicking so much I am now to revise any advice wht should I focus on.?

was your hernia something that you could obviously see?

Hlo i am a nurse in London Can tell me how am I become a doctor here plz

Really helpful and practical

❤great video

Great feedback. In the 2nd communication scenario, was there a discussion around involving the coroner since the death happened during the procedure? Did the wife request to talk to the Dr who did the procedure and how was that addressed if so? Thanks

Thanks alot ❤

Thanks for sharing this honest, vulnerable experience. I can relate hard to this. For me leaving for Australia after F2 saved my medical career. Now I'm taking a year off to travel and currently doing some volunteer medicine in the Philippines. Also, you're eerily similar to me, burnt out junior doc, ex-drinker, into fitness, content creator 😂. New sub, keep it up mate.

Super helpful & congratulations!

DO WE HAVE TO BE AS PERFECT AS PASTEST VIDEO'S CANDIDATE'S PERFORMANCE ?

❤️

I had laporoscopic inguinal repair with mesh 4 weeks ago and it was fine and no pain really. I was also worried about being really ill as last time i had GA was in 2006 and i was throwing up for hours after. I was given a double dose of anti emetic and felt fine and was home around 3 hours after my surgery. A little tightness and aching still but otherwise was all good.

I have to see the surgeon next week and I’m scared!

Great video! I’m considering a career in medicine but am really unsure due to the current position the NHS is in. Is this a career you would still go into if you could go back to choosing your degree, and would you recommend it to someone who is slightly hesitant? Thanks

This is of great help. Thank you!

some reasons why your video is not getting views professional description ,tags, seo , and i can get your video views

My GP offered me a two week sick note for burn out 😂

Great vid, thanks for telling your story. Really inspiring. PS. the level of production is next level!

Thank you for this. I'm only a nurse, but I've been dealing with this for over a year and have been feeling lost with how to deal with my MH. I'll be accessing PHP when I finish this next block of shifts. Keep up the good work.

A lot of bullying goes on in hospitals to , it can be toxic sometimes and no one cares .. Look after yourself hugs and never lose your compassion 😮

Dan, You are INCREDIBLE! Your raw, deeply emotional honesty is both gut wrenching and clearly illustrates exactly what [on the surface, is you a young, fit and successful 'Doctor' with all in your life before you. Yet, the pressure and the workload you and all Junior Doctors go through does take its toll on you all. One way or another. Like you i too have suffered decades of depression and social anxiety and yes my GP was/is incredible. But i am not a Doctor. Like You and your fellow Junior Doctors, in fact all those in the Health Care profession, you all should be 'cared for' and given support and respect and understanding at all times. Each and every one of you as Health Professional deserve total support and indeed a decent salary! Typical of this disgusting Tory Government to cut vital resources to Health Care personnel. Makes me so angry! Let us all hope Wes Streeting is a person who can turn this around. Fingers crossed. Again Dan, thank you for this deep, personal insight into Healthcare and the toll it takes on you all. You are all incredible. Your channel brings to us the truth and indeed a true insight into the real NHS. Dan from the bottom of my heart, Thank You. You are incredible. Take care always... Take care of You! Thank you.

amazing story, can't believe you have come this far. congratulations man

Th memory loss that comes with burnout & ptsd is wild. The cost of losing things, the embarrassment & the time you waste. I’ve never totally recovered it back.

More week in the life work edition videos !!

AUSTRALIANS SO LUCKY THEIR HOSPITALS ARE FUNDED WITH CHINESE MONEY

very rich advises! thank you and congrats on passing PACES 🎉

Come to Australia. We appreciate our health care industry and pay rewardingly.

Thank you and congratulations 🎉

Thank you so much for this! Incredibly helpful! Can I dm you for more queries?

Thanks for sharing Dan. great work.

did you have telescopic surgery or one big incision?

Can really relate to this! ❤

Loved seeing an unedited video - really cool! So many useful points, especially what you were saying about how we see the final outcome of other people's hard work and not all the early iterations. Thanks Dan!

Good story. Thanks. toronto canada

Hi Dan, I appreciate the time it takes to make such content, its not easy. Can you do a video on burnout in medicine i think its a pressing issue that most of us doctors try to avoid or we use bad coping strategies at times

Dan.. Brilliant! Absolutely fantastic!.The unedited, (un) perfect Dan. Excellent! Yes we are all guilty of trying to be a perfectionist in every thing we do. ( As I have said my OCD is an issue, my place is so (over) tidy and organised. As is so many aspects of my life. And yes we all need help from an Alan from time to time. After all what would we expect if we found ourselves in your care in the hospital? The video was simply brilliant, simply because it was You! Unedited, unfiltered, coughing and all!. A really serious subject that affects so many of us . Put into perspective! Thank you, Dan. Appreciated.

Very interesting

Many thanks for sharing your PACES experience! Really thorough and helpful.

Doctors 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi Dan, I know I'm a bit late to this, but your talk resonated with me, particularly finding what in life feels "congruent". Thank you for taking the time to research the various psychs too :)

Loving these new videos Dan! 👍

Hey there, im a doctor in Malta (europe) respect for the hard work. Its hard to find a career path sometimes. But life can offer various surprises. Even outside of medicine there is opportunity now. Alternative careers like in AI and ML.

Hi there. I wanted to ask abt the availability of paces slots in UK. Are there enough number of centres in UK or people have to be waiting for some time to get the seats? IMT trainees are preferred but what if there is some one outside the UK and wanting to attempt the paces in UK? Do such people get slots easily or not ?

Hey Dan, fellow doc here (who did quit a few months ago). Thank you for continuing to share after going back to med. I think it's a perspective students need to hear. I have a Dutch channel for medical students where I will upload a 'I quit as a doc' video soon and I will definitely refer people onto you after watching my video. I think between my experiences with quitting (and being happy about it) and yours, people have a genuinely nuanced view to use when deciding for themselves. ps: the reason I did decide to quit is that the incongruence just wasn't bridge-able in my case. I concluded its a bad product-market fit haha!

Great insight !

Dan, as always...BRILLIANT! Really good in-sight into one of your ''average'' days. So good to see you more 'settled' with life in the NHS. Also your work/life balance and the importance of day-to-day fitness and outlook. 'Keeping it real'! As always massive heartfelt Thank You for what you do and all your amazing NHS co-workers. Deeply appreciated.

MDT= Multi-Disciplinary Team ❤

So interesting great insight!

Nice work, Dan- particularly the podcasts. interested in how professional lives differ between careers and locations- thinking about a return to London after moving 20 years ago. Thanks for the vlog!
