EPISODE 3: The Emotional Side of Medicine
In this episode of Playing Doctors and Nurses, We open up about a side of medicine that is rarely spoken about — the emotional weight that comes with caring for people at their most vulnerable.
Drawing on our experiences in high-pressure environments such as A&E, we reflect on moments of heightened emotion, loss and challenging situations that stay with you long after a shift ends. We explore how these experiences shape you not only as clinicians, but as partners and parents, and how the emotional residue of work can quietly spill into home life.
While the episode begins with reflection and depth, it gently moves towards hope — discussing resilience, connection, humour and the small human moments that help balance the hardest days in medicine.
An honest, thoughtful conversation about caring deeply, carrying responsibility, and finding light alongside the heavy.
