    Medicine isnt hard in the way its challenging to climb Mt. Everest. It's hard in the way it might be for a child with abusive parents.

    I dont know much about medicine but its really intresting listening to these young ladies and many other videos of people leaving medicine. I really admire those who do it, and those who leave it too.I Imagine there is a lot of issues in the medical industry that us not working in it dont know about and its harder for women even more so then men because of certain attitudes that still exist in all professions which doesnt help. I wish both these hugely smart and strong women all the best with their futures and others who feel the same to.

      I am in the same boat. Hold onto it until you can get out of it. Finish it and get some experience. Then maybe transfer to a different career with your experience!

    this is super interesting, would Hana be able to share how medical students can get involved with health tech I would love to find out more how to get involved? Thank you :)

      She mentioned in the video that she started with volunteering - but I'll let her know you've left this comment so she can reply directly!

      @LumosMaxima99 Hi there! Thanks for the question. 😊
      Well, as with anything there are likely many different routes you can take. Here are a few options you could:
      1. The best way to gain exposure and experience is probably to rent out your skills in some way to a health tech startup of your choosing. For example, many startups use freelancers to help with certain tasks that they may not need a full-time employee for. For example, how I started was by doing freelance writing (we made patient information leaflets). But there are probably other things you could try depending on your skillset, for example graphic design or creating video tutorials on health conditions etc. It doesn't really matter what the skill is, just that you have some way of being introduced into the environment. Most of the time they'll look for a skill that requires your medical knowledge of some sort, hence why medical writing in one form or another is probably the easiest way to go to begin with.
      2. If it makes sense for you, you could take a gap year during med school or after and apply for junior roles in startups. This is not usually the best route though, since it takes up the most time and has the most risk attached to it.
      3. You could try building your own health app or website! This is one of the fastest ways to learn about tech, is through application. Of course it'll be messy and requires way more work, but you can start off simple. I started by creating health articles in English and Arabic and distributing them online to my family in Iraq.
      I can make a video on this topic and hopefully share more examples with you soon! If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask! 😊

      @@hana.s.ali93 Hi thanks so much for such a detailed reply, that was very helpful. I was in touch with a company last year which was in the realm of personalised health as I was trying to organise a collab with my society. I will definitely get back in touch with them and see if they have any volunteering roles available. I would absolutely love a video on this and I'm sure it would be useful for many other healthcare students.

    The hard part is that the education system and work culture that surrounds medicine is abusive that it sucks the life and compassion out of people. Its just disgusting.
