When I was in medical school in first year, I heard from a GP registrar at the time during an education evening. She was a young single mother and she was sharing her experiences of getting through medical school. She stated something that I haven’t forgotten.
She stated ‘That the only reasons you won’t succeed are the ones that you create’.
