Work Experience
Family Practitioner, GP
Between 10/2010 and 2016 I was on sick leave at my own initiative due to exhaustion, having
overworked for the previous ten years and having several rare undiagnosed conditions.
Being on the opposite side of doctors desk was an eye opener on colleagues attitudes and lack of
initiative. Since my problems were orphan diseases I had to actively participate in the diagnostic and
therapeutic approach, otherwise my condition would not have been sorted out.
