Redoctoring is a podcast for disillusioned and burnt out doctors aiming to expand and celebrate medicine beyond the traditional linear path.Many doctors feel trapped, isolated and burdened by the reality of medicine in South Africa-sacrificing their humanity for the title. This show solves that by normalizing the many routes available to clinicians.Guests will include a variety of people who specialised, pivoted or left the field.Unlike other shows of its kind, it aims to vulnerably share stories and provide resources so the listener can make informed career decisions.
