A Scottish doctor quit the NHS for a new life in Australia following fears he was heading for a breakdown. Dr Michael Mrozinski, from Glasgow, has described his seven-year stint in the UK health s ervice as 'like being in the trenches'.
The 36-year-old, who worked in A&E departments and as a locum GP across Scotland and London, claims he often being forced to stay up to two hours after his shift finished.
He adding there was 'an unwritten rule' that staff had to sacrifice their own wellbeing 'for the sake of the NHS'. His stark revelations come after the BBC aired 'This Is Going To Hurt' on Tuesday night - a drama based on the bestseller book by Adam Kay about the realties of working for the NHS.Michael Mrozinski first started working in the National Health Service in 2009 after graduating from the University of Glasgow in 2008, and claims he was thrown into a 'very stressful' and 'intense' environment due to staff shortages.The GP eventually decided to leave his job in 2016 and upped sticks for Australia - where he has been working ever since.Now he has compared 'the trenches' of the NHS to the easier life he leads in Brisbane, Queensland, claiming 'every other nurse' at his workplace is from the UK or Ireland as they are also fed up of being overworked.Michael said: "I always vowed that when I did finish my training, I'd tell people exactly how [the NHS] is."I'm not telling people not to do it but I'm saying if they want to go into medicine or nursing, they need to know exactly what they're getting into."It feels like you're in the trenches, it's intense."In Australia, the big difference is there's a huge focus on the bigger picture.
