Me too! Whilst a lot of my experiences have been very negative, they've also given me a greater level of compassion and understanding for others. For example, I think that I was much better at helping to care for my grandfather when he had dementia because I could relate to his fear and confusion about not being sure if he could trust his own mind. And I'm really grateful to have had that opportunity to be there for him, which I wouldn't have been able to do had I been the successful Dr working all of those hours that I would've/could've/should've been had everything not changed 11 years ago.
