Taara took a short break during her shift on a cancer care ward to talk with podcast host Frances about what it's like to be a junior doctor working in a hospital. Taara shares why she wanted to become a doctor, how junior doctors like her rotate through different parts of the hospital to learn, and how she copes with some of the emotionally challenging parts of her job. Taara tells us about a gesture of kindness by a patient with terminal cancer in hospital that is truly moving.
