For Critical Care Intensivist Dr. Ognjen Gajic, avoiding burnout in a demanding medical career isn't about "work-life balance," but harmony. In a clip from The Last Zebra, Dr. Gajic shares a personal story of career rejection that led to a profound realisation at home with his son. He explains why the conventional idea of "balance" is flawed and why prioritising family is the ultimate foundation for a sustainable and meaningful career in medicine.

This insightful conversation from "The Last Zebra" delves into the human challenges that shape a medical professional's life and career, highlighting how personal values are integral to professional success.
