Today I’m joined by Dr Lewis who is a Psychiatry Registrar. Lewis describes his journey into medicine and how his upbringing influenced his own path. Then we look at the complexities of changing career pathways and Lewis’s own experience of making the switch from Emergency Medicine to Psychiatry (07:48). Both Lewis and I completed the “Big 5 Personality Test” and reflected on our results and how our different personalities have lent themselves to our career pathway (17:18). We analyse all aspects of this test from openness to new experiences to competitiveness in the work field. Finally, we discuss the uncomfortable topic of mental health, recognising an impaired colleague and tips on how to approach the hard conversations (35:33). Lewis introduces me to a new concept known as ‘Moral Injury’ and a currently trending Japanese concept ‘Ikigai.’ This was a lot of fun to record and I want to thank Lewis for taking the time to join me for this conversation. As always thanks for listening!
