I'm Fatima, a graduate medical student that loves talking to people and sharing my life experiences so far.
My podcast "Sorry, what?" will combine my passion for medicine with my interest in lifestyle, creating a (hopefully) interesting listening experience. Each episode features discussions on a range of medical and other lifestyle topics, along with personal anecdotes and a healthy dose of humour lol. Whether you're a medical professional, student, or simply someone with an interest in medicine and my chats, "Sorry, What?" is a must-listen.

Why I have been MIA
hi friends! I hope everyone is doing well <3
This episode is a veryyy brief summary of why I decided to take some time off of the podcast. I explain some thoughts on my mind and basically chat non stop for 20 mins. Second comeback episode coming Friday!!!
I think it is crucial for me to state as I did in the podcast that ALL VIEWS ARE MY OWN AND I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY ORGANISATIONS.
Please ignore the Ludovico style piano music- that was absolutely not intentional but think it lowkey fits the vibe right?

Med School- summarised with no filter
In this episode, I lay it all bare and tell you what medical school is really like. It's no walk in the park - the studying is intense, the emotional ups and downs can be overwhelming, and finding time for a personal life feels like a juggling act. But I'm keeping it real with no filter, sharing the highs and lows, and how I stay true to myself through it all. No fancy words, just an honest glimpse into my journey to becoming a doctor. Hope you all enjoy <3

are we doing too much as a generation?
In the third episode of "Sorry, what?", I delve into the world of social "icks" and cancel culture. I also explore the annoying habits and behaviours of our generation (gen Z, millennial and zillenial) that can make us cringe, from using certain slang words to oversharing on social media. Also discussed is the trend of "canceling" individuals or groups for their problematic actions or statements, and debates the pros and cons of this phenomenon. Join me for a good wee chat as I explores the complexities of navigating modern social norms and the pitfalls of cancel culture in the third episode of "Sorry, what?".
