People see the white coat and think:
“Doctor. Success. Pride.”
But they don’t always see:
The sleepless nights
The missed birthdays and family functions
The mental breakdowns behind closed doors
The pressure to be perfect
The constant fear of not being ‘good enough’
Becoming a doctor isn’t just about exams or knowledge —
It’s about sacrificing time, energy, comfort, and sometimes, mental peace…
All for the dream to save lives one day.
So, next time you see someone in a white coat —
Remember, it’s stitched with late nights, sacrifices, and strength you’ll never see.
Respect the journey. Respect the struggle. Respect the coat.
