      I love talking to my patients and getting to know them. But is also important to have a professional relationship as it is really hard to be someones doctor and their friend.

      My career is a bit different from Rebecca as i don;t deal directly with patients. I have met people who have recovered from cancer and came to visit the institute to learn about our work. I found their story really inspiring and it makes all the hard work seem worthwhile.
