Over the past few months, I've had the privilege of speaking with over 120+ doctors across various specialties and regions. These convo have been eye-opening, revealing the multifaceted challenges that medical professionals face daily We often see doctors as elite, unreachable, even arrogant at times. But the reality is far from that. Behind the white coat is a person juggling long hours, endless paperwork, poor infrastructure, difficult patient interactions, and often, a serious lack of respect for what they do. The emotional and mental load they carry is immense, way beyond what we see on the surface. Consultations, diagnoses, follow-ups, emergencies, admin work - it’s a grind. What surprised me the most was how so many of them feel isolated or unheard in a system that demands everything from them but offers very little in return. It’s time we stop viewing doctors as just service providers and start understanding the human cost of saving lives. It’s way more than just a profession.
