Abstract

As a doctor, as a dedicated professional, it may be easy to get absorbed into hard work and ignore yourself, your health, your social life. Work patterns with shift duties, in hospitals with limited food options, long working hours, sleep deprivation, work pressures and stressful situations, can be detrimental to your work-life balance.
