Lazy Girl Jobs, Medicine and Media: A Doctor's Journey Through Career Ambivalence and Secret Creativity
As a doctor navigating the crossroads of a medical career and the pull of content creation, I've often found myself torn between the high-stakes world of medicine and the uncharted territory of YouTube and podcasting. This episode is a candid exploration of that very struggle, and an intimate confession about why I've chosen to keep my creative ventures a secret from my colleagues. I'll take you behind the curtain of professional aspirations and personal passions, and how they sometimes clash in the quest for a fulfilling life.
Have you ever felt like taking the road less traveled in your career? I sure have, and in this episode, I share what it's like to manage a fledgling YouTube channel and podcast while still being involved in the medical field. I talk about the appeal of simpler tasks within my practice and how they provide a surprising sense of satisfaction, despite not advancing up the traditional medical hierarchy. It's a reflection on how personal growth and acquiring wisdom can sometimes overshadow the societal benchmarks of success.
Wrapping up, we'll navigate the nuanced discussion of work-life balance, the paradox of perceived laziness, and the pursuit of a career that brings genuine contentment. I ponder the anti-work sentiment that's gaining traction and reflect on the rise of freelancing as a viable career option. Join me as I consider the essence of living a fulfilling life, the importance of simplifying, and finding that delicate balance between freedom and responsibility amidst the complexities of modern work culture and our own fleeting mortality.
Please consider helping me out, I'd seriously super appreciate it! <3

Are lazy girl jobs the new thing that everyone should be doing? Have we said goodbye to the girl boss era? So that's what I'm talking about today, people, because I have wondered recently if I am a quote unquote lazy girl and I was like I feel like I am, but then I actually looked into it and I was like, hmm, maybe not. So today I'm talking about lazy girl jobs, the new I don't know why I say new, you know, recent. I was like the new thing, um, the recent phenomenon. I don't know whether we'd call it that. It's hardly a fucking UFO, is it? But the new thing on the block. So let me tell you about my quickly, about my, like my life story, about my work situation. I don't know if you know some of you might not, to be fair, like, if you haven't been listening for a while, you're not gonna know. Then I'll tell you I'm a doctor but I'm working.
Speaker 1:I've finished my f2, which is basically like foundation training, and I don't want to go into like I do want to go, sorry, I do want to go into higher training, but I don't want to like make the jump to do it, and because it's like it's really, you know, you might say well, I'm done, you are a doctor. Like being a doctor is difficult. It's just like so much fucking paperwork. You have to do all these exams and like interviews and like I just want to you know, and then you have to like move where you're, where you live, and I just don't want to do all of that. I just want to earn money, go to work.
Speaker 1:I actually want to do content creation. I'm not gonna lie, medicine pays the bills, but I don't tell people at work that because, because I don't want them well, I don't want people to know I've had some, you know, bad experiences with people knowing about it and I don't want to get into that again. So I basically don't tell people. I think that's a good way to keep it. Otherwise people watch it and then think shits about them and then ask questions and then it becomes like a whole thing and it's just like it's just not worth it. You know, it's not like I keep it a secret, like people do know, but I'm not like shouting out about it. So I actually would prefer to do content creation. But medicine pays the bills, you know, and it's it's like my the thing that I'm.
Speaker 1:I, you know, have worked most of my life for. So I'm not gonna give it away or give it up, but I am not like striving towards becoming an absolute fucking boss consultant, like at the age of 35, and like I'm. You know I just I, I do want to progress, don't get me wrong, but it's not as easy as that. I'd say what I would apply to training if I knew I was gonna get a place in Bristol, like I would apply to it. But I don't and I don't want to go through all of that just to be offered some of shit, like because it's a national training program anyway.
Speaker 1:So basically, I feel like a lazy work person. I, because I I think all my life I've been like conditioned into thinking I need to strive, I need to get to the top, I need to be the best I can be, I need to be, you know, boss girl. I need to be fucking amazing. And I tell you what I don't just go home, sorry, come home and go to work the next day. Come home, go to work. I, you know I've got all of this shit on the side. I don't want to call it shit, you know, I enjoy it and that's the, that's the not problem. But that's the point, I suppose, is I enjoy it, I would like it to become more of my mainstream thing, but alas, we're not there yet.
Speaker 1:It's a long old road and so, you know, we are kind of juggling both at the same time and it does make me look like I'm lazy from a perspective of you know, if someone's I'm just going to work every day as a locum, like that is not the done thing in medicine, it's like no, you should always be progressing. It's this constant like need or pursuit of progression in especially a vocational career and it's not like you know. And then people start thinking I don't want to say thinking badly of you, because people probably do, but also I'm like whatever. But I think people probably think that I have no driver ambition, and that's not true. I just I have driving ambition in different, in a different place, which I'm just not telling people about and I don't want.
Speaker 1:The thing is, I would love to be like look, I am doing things. I'm not just going, you know, because I guess from another person's perspective it looks like I'm just going to work and going home and that's it and just living. But I'm not. I literally do, you know, two podcasts a week, I make videos and I mean that's kind of it at the moment, but that's enough, okay. Oh no, I'm sorry, I do have another job. I work from home job as a doctor, so I've got shit going on, it's like. But to me, from someone else's perspective, I can see.
Speaker 1:No one's called me lazy, let me put it that way, but I can see why I. You know, if somebody said, oh, you've got no driver ambition or whatever, I could see where they were coming from if they just looked at one aspect of my life. Now can you say that about somebody who's you know gotten driven and gone into medicine? I don't know. I do know some people that are quote unquote lazy, you know. Maybe not lazy, but they don't work that hard, like they're just naturally clever. And I would say that I am clever but I don't want to like blow my intro a bit, but I am clever, but I still have to work for it. So I don't know, it is a bit of both, like I don't have to work like super hard, but I have to work a medium amount for me. You know.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God, what just happened? The camera, I'm using a different lens, I blinked and the fucking thing just went pfft. So I don't know what just happened and I'm now a bit scared because I'm using a different lens and it's like way smaller than the camera. And I'm using a different lens because I was filming something else. I just couldn't be able to change it over. So, hashtag lazy girl bitch right here. So I think it just, you know, readjusted itself. Who knows?
Speaker 1:But I think you know we are constantly fed this like thought process of we need to be, you know, especially since we've stopped becoming housewives, like as females and pretty much just like. You know, everyone's like put your career first and you know you have your career, and then you have your children. And you know women actually have jobs now, whereas maybe, you know, 50, 70 years ago it was very much less common. I think we've gone on to like hyper boss girl mode, like we need to be, or there's this like constant thing that like we need to be, like constantly striving and productive and like working towards all of this shit, and I'm just like ah, ah, ah. And the thing is, I feel like I'm constantly doing stuff, but I don't really feel like I'm going anywhere. No, I mean, I always say this, though, but my YouTube channel is growing. Oh, okay, fine, I've just realized what happened, so I keep oh, I'm ever so sorry to interrupt your programming.
Speaker 1:Basically, I'm sitting in a sleeping bag. Yes, I'm sitting in a sleeping bag. That is the situation. Global warming I don't want to use loads of, you know, heating and also it's warm. I can sit in it and I'm fine. I don't need to worry about like, am I cold Cause I used to fucking freeze in here. Honestly, it's so cold, there's no carpet and it's like a high ceiling Torian. Is it Victorian? It's 1920s? Okay, whatever era that is, you know, 1920s, tall ceiling house with no fucking insulation, I swear. So basically, I need this. Anyway, what happened was I was basically, every time I was moving my sleeping bag, it was like dragging the camera. So all is good. No one cares about that. So, yeah, my YouTube channel and my podcast are growing.
Speaker 1:They are not to the point of I can just leave my job. I'm not even like sure I will ever fully leave it. I don't know. Like my medicine job. I don't know, I don't know, who knows, I don't know, I don't think I would. You know, it's quite a big thing to give up and I do like it, I like it. I like going to work. You know, not a lot, as in, I don't like going to work every day, but I like going to work a couple of times a week. So I could keep doing that, you know, like one or two times a week and that's kind of enough. Sometimes, you know, when you've got all of this stuff going on as well, I'm just like mm done. So it's quite emotionally exhausting and quite, you know, physically. Not physically exhausting because I'm not like manually doing stuff, but like I don't know. Yeah, it's mentally exhausting, emotionally and mentally, because I have to think a lot.
Speaker 1:Sometimes you just want a job and this is where I'm kind of coming from right With this lazy girl thing Sometimes you just want a job where you don't have to fucking think, you just sit there and you do. I tell you what the equivalent of that medicine is generally doing like ward jobs. Now what you can do is I mean, it's not always like this, sadly, but sometimes you can. You know, if you've got a consultant or registrar, you can just follow them around, write down the plan, like obviously you know on the wardrobe write down the plan and then just go and like do it and you don't need to like think. Someone else has thought about the plan for you, someone else has, you've written it down. Someone else has spoken to the patient, someone else has done everything. You know.
Speaker 1:You just need to now do the like work afterwards. And you know, depending on the job, depending on the job that you're on or the ward that you're on, that can be very easy or it can be very hard. Let's put it that way If it's understaffed, then obviously it's shit, pretty fucking shit, and I wouldn't. I don't like doing that work. I don't like doing ward work because it's so unreliable. A and E, whilst it's unreliable is at least fun, okay, whereas ward work is like unreliable, but also hell, like it could be. Even when it's like a good day, it's just boring.
Speaker 1:But there are some days where I'm like do you know what? I don't wanna talk to people, I don't wanna try and figure out what's wrong with them. I don't wanna try and like figure out what's going on. I just want to sit and I want to write discharge summaries. I tell you what, some days I would just love to do that Just fucking read the notes, write discharge summaries. But sometimes you know you can't do that. Now, most of the time I can't do that because I don't write discharge summaries, thank the Lord. So, anyway, that's my like lazy. That's how I feel about whether I'm lazy is I don't feel like I'm lazy, but I feel like I should be progressing in my medical career and I'm not Not not okay, exaggeration, because I am. I'm still learning stuff every day. I'm still gaining skills. I'm still progressing in terms of knowledge and experience. Right, that is important, knowledge and experience.
Speaker 1:I didn't realise when I was like 20, right, this is everything, okay, everything. They talk about wise people for a reason. I'm telling you, wise is important. Like I, you don't realise it until you get older and you become more wise, as I am, I'm just wise and you're like, wow, I knew nothing and I still, probably now know nothing. But you know, you just get all of this experience and you put it all together and you go, ah, okay, and you have this like epiphany.
Speaker 1:I've had so many epiphanies from my like from the age of 24 to maybe 23. No, 24. 23. Okay, 23, 24. To the age of like 27, 28,. I had so many fucking epiphanies about the world I don't even know how to describe it. Like you know, when you just everything just makes sense, you're like, oh, it's like I could see how that could be like a very spiritual moment. I'm not a spiritual person, I don't really know what that means, but I could see how people could also perceive it as, like a God came to me, because finally, just something like clicks and you're like, how did I not realise this before? Now? I know everything. So anyway, fuck, I can't even remember what I was saying right before that.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I am progressing in knowledge and life experience and medical experience, but I'm not progressing in terms of training. So to progress in terms of training, you have to sit on a training program and go through different specialties, go to different hospitals, get loads of stuff ticked off, signed off, follow up your progression and I don't mind that, don't get me wrong. But what I don't want to do, anyway, I've told you this, I've told you. I don't need to tell you again. Okay, and maybe nobody, you know, no one came for that, but I think it's interesting to hear, like, if you're not a doctor or you're not in the medical profession, or maybe you are, maybe you're a medical student and you're thinking like you're thinking, if you're not in medical profession, right, and you're thinking I don't feel like I'm going anywhere in life.
Speaker 1:You know, maybe I've reached the end of my career, blah, blah, blah. And don't worry people, I feel the same. I feel that way too. I'm like I can't, I don't feel like I'm going anywhere, but I kind of do, but I don't. But I don't Like. I feel like I'm going places in my content creation life and not in my medical career, and I can't do both. Like I just can't. I don't feel like I can progress in my medical career and also progressing content creation, like I just don't know whether that's possible. So, anyway, we're freaking out. We're freaking out Because this is like a constant bugbear of mine.
Speaker 1:People, not bugbear, I don't want it to sound like I'm annoyed, but like people constantly ask me. I'm not like annoyed about it, but it does make me feel shit about myself. You know, just saying people are always asking me like, what are you doing next year? Like, maybe not like that, that was a bit aggressive. What are you doing next year? What are you doing next year? What are you doing next year? Sort your fucking life out. No, it's not like that. It's like, oh, don't want what you're doing next year.
Speaker 1:You apply for training Probably like three times a day. I get that Three times a day. There's more meals I have more questions about my fucking career development per day than I eat meals and that is troubling for me. It's troubling. Okay, I also, by the way, I don't know if you know, I'm having I think I'm having a sugar rush. I want to do comedy, so so, but is that a career Like for me? I don't know. I would like to do comedy, but I'm scared. What do you know? It's completely different.
Speaker 1:Sitting here in front of a camera is taking me a long time trust me, three or four years to get used to speaking to this fucking camera. You, you, but I'm finally used to it. I'm finally done, not done, I'm done, I'm not done. I'm finally comfortable, comfortable, but I'm always wanting to like, push myself to do something scarier and stand up comedy, terrifying. Because I've thought about doing a live podcast and then I was like, oh my god, people will literally be able to comment live, and I don't ever really cut things out of my podcast, but I mean, if you're doing it live, that's fucking it, baby. Anyway, right. So let's talk about. Let's talk.
Speaker 1:Go back to Lazy Girl, because I think we're getting a bit whoa, a little bit loco here, so I think it's pretty much like so what is a Lazy Girl job, right? So apparently somebody wrote all I do, quote, all I do is copy and paste the same emails, take three to four calls a day, take my extra long breaks, take more breaks and get a nice salary. What a nice salary is, I don't know. To me it sounds fucking boring. That sounds boring, and there are some days, trust me, where I want to do that.
Speaker 1:But eventually, like I said with like I need something to mentally challenge myself, like whether it's a different, like a difficult patient, or whether it's a difficult history. Every patient is completely different, right? So I'm like trying to figure out what's going on with them and like it's although I see a lot of, you know, chest pain, abdominal pain, the same stuff it's like a different mechanism. There's a different person, it's a different family situation. They're all different. So, even though it might be the same condition you know, heart attack or whatever, or usually not heart attack with chest pain, I'm just going to put it out there, okay, most people who have chest pain that I see don't have haven't had a heart attack. So, yeah, I think it sounds incredibly boring.
Speaker 1:And I tell you what I actually did have made a short and I said something like I wish someone could just give me money. I think at that point I was really burnt out right, and I did this podcast and I was like fucking done with life. I was like I don't want to go to work, I'm done. So I basically said something like I what did I say? Come on, dawn. I said I wish someone would just give me infinite amounts of money, and like I didn't have to work or something like that, or I could just like exist, I don't know, something like that.
Speaker 1:But I think and then somebody commented on it, like you know, if I did that, I'd get like really bored. And I was like, yeah, that's true, I would get so bored. I need like constant mental stimulation, slash challenge. So when I was younger I must have been like five or something my dad we used to walk along this road and he we used to I used to make me memorize the house names and numbers and then I but you know, I'd obviously be able to like rattle them off, and you know, this gal needs constant stimulation, like even walking home. So I can't just copy and paste the same emails. No, no, I just can't. I can't even fathom doing it.
Speaker 1:And I tell you what the less I work, the less I work, if you get what I mean, the less work there is to do, especially if I don't like the work, if I find it boring or I don't like it, the lazier I get. I don't know why. It's a fucking phenomenon. That is a phenomenon that is a UFO in itself. Okay, unidentified fucking ordeal, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Crazy, like how do you get lazier the less work you have? Like I don't understand it. Like surely you should be like I'd quite like to go and do stuff, but then what you do is you, if you were sat there doing nothing, right, nothing. You're just sitting there like tapping your fingers, like don't know what to do, you would probably go insane and want to go and do something. But what ends up happening is you do something like watch TV or go on social media, and then obviously you could just do that all day, because it's like instantly fulfilling dopamine, blah, blah, blah, blah. So it's like well, there you go. So I think it would be pretty.
Speaker 1:Firstly, how are people finding these jobs and good salary and not doing much work? Like, if I was employing somebody, I would want them to, you know, be doing a bit more than sending a couple of emails, take four calls, take a very long break, take some more breaks, what? Like you know, I don't want to be like a slave driver, but I would want people to be, you know, working a bit more, like, as in, you know, sort of getting your money's worth and and also like, but I also think maybe people would be happier if they just got their work done and then just left. You know, like, why are we chaining people to the desk? I get it, you know it might be an office or something and office hours. You know they need someone to answer the phone or something, but I don't know. But then I also think, if you end up putting a time not a time limit, but like saying you can go once all your work's done, people end up, I would say, rushing it and doing a less good job. I think, whereas if you say okay, if you say I'm going to pay you every hour until you finish the work, people might end up taking longer, like you can stretch out work for a whole day for sure.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, I mean, the issue is you either pretty much work a lot and this is an issue I was having, like with locuming is you can work a lot and get paid, okay, fine. Yeah, you can work a lot and get paid a lot, but you can work shit hours in a job that you don't like and you always get paid more for that. Like it's just always the case. I've had a few jobs like that where I've been paid so well and I'm like, but I hate it, like I just hate it in the hours of shit, whereas you can, or you can get like shit pay, but just have a nine to five. Personally, I don't like nine to fives because boring everyone else does them. You end up finishing work and going to work when the rush hours are Ew, gross, no, thank you. So I prefer working out of hours anyway, but that's just me.
Speaker 1:I think we're also going through like a bit of an anti-work movement. I think people are starting to realise maybe I don't need to dedicate my whole life to work anymore, like maybe I could actually live. How interesting, because you literally could get hit by a bus and die tomorrow, like, and then, what have you done? You've worked like excessively and then died, thinking you were going to get a nice retirement. Guys, I am well aware of the fact that I might not make it to retirement age Many of us might not, so you need to like prep for that.
Speaker 1:You know, think if I died tomorrow and I actually did an episode on dying you can go listen to that. It sounds really morbid, but it was actually. You know, it's a happy ending, sort of. It's a. You know there's good moral to the story. That's what I'm saying, not happy ending. So you know you have to live. I know it sounds so fucking cringey. You have to live each day like it's your last. Well, yeah, you kind of do, because I see things, you know, I see things in that hospital and I'm like that could be me. Like someone was just walking down the street and then they get fucking run over and then they die in hospital but they never wake up, they never know what's happening, or I think working in hospital gives you a different perspective on life. Let me tell you, because you know, you see, like, oh, and then you know she was walking down the street then she got stabbed. Do you know what I mean? And it's just like life can be taken away from you that quickly. So you know, work life balance come on, sort it out.
Speaker 1:So I think people are going into a bit of an anti-work movement at the moment, a bit like wait there, I maybe I don't want to work all the time. Who's told me I should be working all the time? And I think people are going more towards like this freelance self-employed, you know. Especially people are loving the content creation life. I'm like, oh gosh, what happened there?
Speaker 1:I'm like one day people won't want to be content creators and I'm like, when will that happen? I'm like when, you know, everyone wanted to be doctors for a long time, right, and then it's started to become shit in the UK. So I'm like at some point the scale will tip and everyone will be like no, I don't want to be a content creator. Christ, all that work for a little pay. But I mean, at the moment everyone's like, oh my God, content creators get paid so much. But I mean, I'm a content creator, I'm just not like a big one, right, I don't get paid pretty much anything. So, yeah, nothing, you know I do, but then, like the amount of money I spend to make the content like doesn't like equate and I'm not complaining, I'm just stating the facts here, the facts of the case.
Speaker 1:So I think it very much depends on what your personal story of success looks like, you know, if you literally think about it, think about it right now with me. Come on, let's have a think. Right, we're dying tomorrow. Okay, that's the end of it. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry for your loss, your own life loss. We're going to die tomorrow, me and you.
Speaker 1:Okay, were you happy? Did you have a good life? Did you feel successful? These are questions you should be asking yourself. Did I laugh enough? Did I love enough? Did I enjoy myself? Did I see the world? If that's important to you, did I care about money too much? All of these things you know a bit fucking philosophical, dawn, but I'm sorry they need to be said. I'm sorry they need to be said. Do you know what? I'm going traveling in a couple of weeks and I'm like bye, because I want to live, I want to enjoy my life and I'm like you know, I can see it kind of moving along and I'm like 2024 bitches, soon it'll be. And I saw the fucking the expiry date. Do you ever look at expiry dates and think that's a really long time away? And then you think you think about a time where you thought that was a really long time away and then you think that's now Okay. So I remember when it was like 2018 and I was like, oh, 2024 gross, that sounds so long away. And now it's 2024. Right, and now to me. I looked at the fucking what's it called carbon monoxide expiry date carbon monoxide alarm expiry date and it's 2032. And I was like that's a really long time away, but it isn't. It isn't. It sounds a lot, but it probably won't be.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, figure out what your personal story of success looks like, and I think you know whether you're a content creator, whether you're a doctor, I don't personally want to need to be a consultant. I think I do want to progress in some way or another. I think I am sort of getting to the point now where I'm like come on, okay, get an itchy feet. That's what they call, it, isn't it? But my feet are not physically itchy, it's just a metaphorical thing.
Speaker 1:Do I think it would be nice, though, to what I'm noticing with age is responsibility. And you know, you see kids nowadays oh, those kids. I sound like an old woman. I remember you when you were five, when you were this big, and I'm like, oh, remember all that lack of responsibility I had. And now I'm in like a profession where I'm in contact with the police, a fair amount I have to do safeguarding referrals. I have a lot of well, a fair amount of professional responsibility and also life responsibility and I've got two dogs and you know just life, and I'm like God, it would be nice to have fewer responsibilities. And I tell you what I have done. I have ridden myself of as much responsibility as I can recently. You know I'm trying to.
Speaker 1:I'm throwing shit away like I'm clearing shit out my mind, my, my house, like I'm just clearing shit out because I'm like I want as few things as possible. I'm going minimal. I'm not minimal whatsoever. Okay, let's. You know, you only have to look around me to write Okay. For example, I've got a fucking pin badge here that shows that I've donated blood 10 times. I don't want to throw it away. It's an achievement. You know, I donated blood 10 times. I've even got scars to show for it in my arm, but I also don't want a pin badge, okay. So I'm struggling, struggling to throw that away. So I want less responsibility. This is responsibility. I would like to get rid of it. So every day I try to throw something away when I remember I'm like okay, I'm gonna throw something away.
Speaker 1:I think it's important to note, though, that a lack of purpose in life whether that's job or just life generally, personal life has been linked to higher rates of depression and anxiety. So, whilst it's nice to have no responsibility and just go woo, fly about your day and do whatever, if you have no purpose in life, you I'm not saying you will, but like you might be more susceptible to feeling shit about life because you're like people need a purpose, you don't just want to exist. That's why I'm thinking like if we lived forever, no one would be happy, like no one wants to live forever, because the whole reason why life is like a fun and challenging is because it's got a time limit on it. Otherwise, it's just this forever. I don't think that's that fun. I don't know. I really don't Like comment down below guys, because I don't think living forever is the answer. I really don't. I don't even know whether the nice like cut off point is.
Speaker 1:I'm at a hundred year old. The other day, who was like I wouldn't recommend being a hundred, and I think that was because of her physicality, like she was. Oh god, I don't know if you've ever felt a hundred year old's bones. They creak okay, I'm not fucking exaggerating their joints. You move their joints and they go not like crunchy but like squeaky. Yeah, that's probably a better vocalisation. They don't necessarily make that noise, but you can feel. You can feel the squeak and you're like. It kind of makes me cringe a little bit because I'm like does that hurt? Like it must hurt, that must hurt. It's literally like bone rubbing together, surely? Well, actually no, because that would be scraping. Anyway, let me know hundred year old people, what does that feel like? I don't want to ask like, what does this creaking feel like to you, because that's a bit inappropriate, but I've thought it a lot and it's not uncommon now that I see 9500 year olds I think the oldest I've seen is 103.
Speaker 1:I tell you what the fucking key to living that old is. I'm telling you it is mindset, that's all it is. Wow, it's a bit of luck as well, probably, but mindset and obviously like diet and lifestyle. But you see, the people who are 103, like, they are not like bed bound. Generally they are people that are fit and active and walking around. As soon as you start shutting down and stop moving and looking after yourself and you lose that desire to keep going, I feel like that's kind of the end. So here we go. Life lessons, Lazy girl jobs. Let me know what you think of having a lazy girl job. I guess it's. I want a semi-permanent lazy girl job. I want a lazy girl job when I like, on random days, when I'm burned out, when I need money, but I don't want to commit to the full responsibility of talking to humans. So there we go. Let me know.
