Full circle: a patient, a baby and the making of a doctor

This reflective commentary recounts the journey of a young intern through her first and final obstetrics and gynaecology postings, linked unexpectedly by a single patient and her family. First under my care during an early clinical rotation. A year later, through a chance encounter, when her narrative intersected with mine once more. This piece explores the continuity of care, the unseen emotional bonds between patients and trainees, and the quiet, serendipitous moments that shape one's medical identity during formative years of training.
