Sunny sits with Nivae for EP 20, a Junior Doctor in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. 

We pull the curtain back on what it really is like being a doctor -- going through the medicine degree and being surrounded by high-achievers, to experiencing burnout when completing placements within hospitals (with some weeks reported to have 70-80+ hour weeks). 

It's a candid conversation that flips the table on the traditional doctor-patient relationship -- now asking the medic how they really feel. A must listen for anyone who is studying medicine, knows a friend/loved one completing their placements or would like to know more about the doctor's journey.

Had a lot of fun sitting behind the mic with Niv and hope you all enjoy the listen.
