Took me back to my duty days in OBGYN ward

Being a Doctor and having worked in the largest free hospital in Asia, in India where Birth Rate is in top ranks in the world, and seeing colleagues and myself having 20x much more patient load and long 48hrs shifts, I was skeptical at first, thinking that this would show how a Doctor has to sacrifice his social life, a self pity type of show, where the doctor sees far less patients (not saying that it's less as per UK standard, just when compared to India) and earning substantially more (again not a bad thing) and still cries about his profession where he knew what he was getting into at first.

This episode PROVED ME WRONG This expressed what many doctors feel. I'm hooked. Hope rest episode stand at par with this one.
