In today’s post, some medical doctors share their experiences with combining being medical interns and still having a life outside the hospital – from running a business to destressing and enjoying life to the fullest. I’m certain you’d gain a thing or two from their experiences, which can also be applied to other aspects of life. Enjoy! Elizabeth… …is a…
