In today's episode of the Career Equation Podcast, host Erica Sosna sat down with Charles Hillman. He is a junior doctor working in A&E focusing on sports and rehabilitative medicine. Amid recent NHS strikes, Charlie provides a rare glimpse into emergency medicine today. He illuminates the realities of life on the medical frontlines. As he balances the pressures of the NHS with his aspirations in sports medicine, Charlie's experiences offer valuable insights into the evolving landscape of healthcare. His perspective reveals both the challenges and potential solutions within the healthcare system.

Charlie's journey into medicine began with a passion for science. His initial inspiration was shows like CSI. But, he realized the reality of medical practice. It was far different from its portrayal on television. He explains, "In school, you're, no matter how much work experience you do, you don't know what it's about. Um, you know, you see people with injuries and with illnesses. And you read books that describe what it's about, but it's not, it's nothing like what it is."
