Doctors looking for love face ‘unique challenges’
Here’s why doctors may not be celebrating with that special someone this Valentine’s Day, according to GP Dr Aajuli Shukla
On TV, overworked doctors juggle patient care with bomb threats, fires and other catastrophes — all while enjoying a thrilling love life.
But in reality, Sydney GP Dr Aajuli Shukla says doctors face a “unique set of challenges” when it comes to matters of the heart.
This is especially the case if they are a woman, gender diverse or outside heteronormative, Dr Shulka writes in an MJA InSight piece, published the day before Valentine’s Day.
As a Medical Journal of Australia deputy medical editor, she stresses her conclusions are based on anecdotes rather than hard quantitative data.
