I made this short film to share my story, and to hopefully motivate others who are on the same path as me.

From the excitement of getting into med school to the fear of failing my exams. I pushed through, worked harder than I ever thought I could, and finally graduated. I started residency, but everything caught up with me. I burned out. Studying felt impossible. I couldn’t focus, couldn’t retain anything, and for the first time, I questioned if I was even meant to do this.

But I didn’t want to give up.

I started drawing. Making visual notes. Recording. Uploading visual lectures on YouTube. Helping others gave me a new sense of purpose, and slowly, I started to find joy again.

What began as a way to survive became something much bigger.

This short film is about that journey, burnout, rediscovery, and how I turned struggle into something meaningful. If you've ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or feeling that you're not enough… this video is for you. Burnout isn’t the end. It can be a beginning.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

The PDFs are now available on my website.
