Have you ever felt like you’ve lost interest in medicine — even just for a moment? How can we tell if it’s just burnout or a sign we’re no longer aligned with this path?
What helps you reconnect with your “why” during tough phases?

Yes, I’ve felt that way, moments where everything feels draining and directionless. Often, it’s burnout clouding the passion, not a lost purpose. I reconnect by revisiting patient stories that moved me, talking to mentors, or simply remembering why I started: to help, to heal, and to grow ( mostly I go through my daily journal!). Sometimes stepping back helps me step back in with clarity.

I didn’t ever felt. It may be as it’s my dream and I have walked a long path to reach here.
I don’t think of a second option other than medicine.
