  • Is there a Doctor on board? | The No Scrubs Podcast Ep. 4
    Welcome to the No Scrubs Podcast with Dr. Ife and Dr. Tenni! This week, we're getting real about life as a doctor beyond the hospital. We chat about whether being a doctor is just a job or if it becomes your whole personality. Can you ever truly switch off, or is it always a part of you? We also talk about the high expectations people have for doctors—do they expect us to be perfect and professional all the time, even off-duty? Plus, we share some wild stories about being called to action in public places, like on flights, and the pressure that comes with it. Lastly, we laugh about the most "doctor" things we've done when not at work, from giving impromptu consultations at parties to offering medical advice in the most unexpected situations. Join us for a fun and honest chat about the realities of being a doctor, both in and out of the hospital. Whether you're in the medical field or just curious, this episode is for you!
