Every doctor has a diary they never wrote. This is mine. Diary of a Resident is a podcast told entirely in diary entries, real stories, real emotions, from inside the life of an NHS doctor. The highs that nobody talks about enough, and the lows that nobody talks about at all. No filter, no textbook, no performance. Just the honest account of what it actually feels like to do this job.

    Black Wednesday

    Every doctor remembers their first day... The first Wednesday of August every year has a name in medicine: "Black Wednesday." The day thousands of newly-qualified doctors walk onto wards across the UK and become, overnight, responsible for real patients, real decisions, with real consequences. This...was my Black Wednesday. A morphine prescription that broke me, a ward round that humbled me, a radiologist who sent me packing and somewhere between the pride of my first blood test and my first failure, the quiet realisation that five years of medical school had prepared me for almost none of it.
