Introduction | The Unscripted Doctor (Channel Trailer)

Описание: 👋 Hi, I’m Matthew — a doctor based in Cape Town, South Africa. Welcome to my channel, The Unscripted Doctor.

This introduction video is all about what you can expect from this channel: real conversations, alternative career paths, and honest insights about life as a doctor in South Africa.

🎓 A little about me:
• Studied medicine at the University of Pretoria
• Internship at Groote Schuur Hospital & Community Service at Khayelitsha Hospital
• Worked in Emergency Medicine & completed my Diploma in Emergency Medicine
• Spent several years as a Cruise Ship Doctor 🌍 (including during the first COVID outbreak)
• Returned to Cape Town as a General Practitioner
• Worked in the fast-growing field of Film & TV Production Medicine 🎬

💡 Like many young doctors, I faced the question: Should I specialise? Should I open a practice? What else is out there?
The truth is, we’re not limited to just GP work or specialising — there are many other opportunities waiting for us.

✨ On this channel, you’ll find videos about:
• Alternative careers & side hustles for doctors
• Building multiple income streams in medicine
• Exploring niche fields like cruise ship medicine & film medicine
• Balancing purpose, passion, and financial freedom
• Avoiding burnout & designing a career on your own terms

📌 My first video will cover the broad alternatives to GP vs specialising, and from there, I’ll dive deeper into specific opportunities.

If you’re a young doctor or medical student looking for guidance, inspiration, and options beyond the traditional script — this channel is for you.
