I have spent most of my life studying and working towards becoming a doctor. That single minded focus brought academic progress and professional identity, but over time I became aware that my life had grown overly narrow, anchored almost entirely in medicine. Gradually, I found it harder to relate to people outside the healthcare sector, a disconnect that felt both unintended and deeply concerning. Medicine is grounded in society and human experience, and losing touch with that wider reality should never be the cost of professional dedication.

​

This realisation led me to intentionally create space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with life beyond clinical environments. This blog was originally designed as a medical platform: a place to share clinical observations, lessons learned in practice, and reflective commentary on medicine and training. However, in an age of rapid information dissemination, even anonymised clinical discussion can carry unforeseen medico legal sensitivities, particularly when context is fragmented or misinterpreted.

​

At the same time, I recognised a more personal need: to better understand who I am outside of my professional role. Medicine may define my work, but it should not define the entirety of my identity. This profile therefore serves two parallel purposes. First, it introduces my academic and clinical work for those interested in medical education and research. Second, it provides a space to explore broader, everyday interests and reflections, with the hope of connecting with people who value curiosity, balance, and life beyond a single career path.”
