I Quit My Job And Joined Doctors Without Borders

My First Doctors Without Borders Mission: From Private Practice Anesthesiologist to Humanitarian in South Sudan 🇸🇸 | MSF Journey Begins In this deeply personal and unfiltered video, I share the story of my first mission with Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières / MSF)-a life-changing leap from a stable anesthesiology job in New England to the unpredictable realities of humanitarian medicine in South Sudan. You'll hear how I went from burnout, heartbreak, and financial stress to volunteering in one of the most medically underserved regions on earth. With raw vulnerability, humor, and insight, I take you through the initial decision to join doctors without borders, my work in South Sudan, bonding with an international team in the remote village of Aweil, just south of Darfur, and coming home a changed and healed doctor. Here are some things about this mission I'd like to add in a future video: my failed French interview, treating tetanus in babies, managing emergencies without ventilators.
