Can you become a doctor without putting the rest of your life on hold?
In this episode of Doctors Who Do Other Things, Dr. Xaundre Mohansingh sits down with Internal Medicine specialist and travel creator Dr. Rochelle Knight, founder of Adventures from Elle. What started as a broke medical student exploring Jamaica by public transportation became a travel platform she continued building through medical school, internship, residency, and eventually becoming a specialist physician.
From being told taking vacation meant she had “poor work ethic,” to using every vacation day she’s entitled to, turning down extra work, traveling the world, and learning to protect her time, Rochelle shares why she refuses to let medicine become her entire life — and why sometimes, she doesn’t want the money. She wants the time.

Yes peace of mind when at work and when not at work, peace of mind. Everyone needs that but unfortunately, sometimes not, just part of life but it's possible 😊
