I have just realised: the NHS gets junior doctors to perform extra work in their free time for ‘portfolio points’ that other employers pay staff to do. Audit. Research. Teaching. Management. We’re being exploited and calling it career progression.

It’s my 30th birthday on Tuesday, and quite honestly this is not what I expected. I have never felt more burnt out/frustrated at medicine. It’s very difficult to believe that I spent my 20s working so hard, and the light at the end of the tunnel keeps moving further away.
