In this week’s episode we are joined by Dr Perkins, a qualified GP in the south coast who shares with us his journey and the unusual story as to why he pursued medicine. We delve into why he is on a quest to empower doctors to make better financial decisions, how he ended up talking big waves in his anaesthetic interview and the importance of embracing our journey rather than rushing headfirst into consultancy and specialist training.
Dr Perkins shares why he co-founded Medics Money, the importance and issues surrounding finances as a junior doctor. We touch on life as a GP and what it means to be financially comfortable. Tune in as we discuss why money is such a taboo in the medical world. More importantly Tommy shares with some tips on how we can all make better financial decisions.
