A look at how perfectionism can be a destructive personality trait and why it can leave me feeling superficial and guilty when working as a doctor. I discuss the difficult scenarios medics are often exposed to and how as healthcare professionals we become 'numb' to the emotion that should follow the horrific scenes we see everyday.
I also discuss the recent NHS nurses strike in England and provide an insight into the reasons why they have made the decision to go on strike.
