Hello, I'm Greg Jenna and good news, Your Dead to Me is back for a new series. Here we go. Yes, we'll explore Emperor Nero's notorious reign with Professor Marybeard and Patton Oswald. I would not want my daughter having the remote control, not alone an empire. We'll dissect the decadent life of Philippe Duke-Dor-Leon with Tom Allen. I've often tried to pretend I'm an aristocrat and being very quickly knocked down. And there'll be so much more with comedians like Olga Koch, Mike Mosniak and Ria Lina. I'm excited. You're dead to me, the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Listen first on BBC Sounds. This is a podcast for Radio 4, but this isn't inside health, although we thought you might be interested in this programme anyway.

I'm Dr Kevin Fong and this three-part series called Why Become a Doctor is all about the lives of junior doctors today.

This episode, episode three, is called a matter of life and death.

When I was a foundation year two doctor, there was a young patient who came in.

I was doing a GP job and he came in with symptoms of basically two viral illnesses.

I examined him very thoroughly, got the supervising GP to examine him very thoroughly, and we said to him and mum, go home and then come back in a week if he's still not well. And then about a week later, I found out that he died. He'd had a cardiac arrest at home and it was a consultant on the phone from the RVI

just wanting to know any information that could help in the resuscitation

that was ongoing as he was on the telephone to me.

And there was a coroner's inquest

and it was found that the young gentleman had died of a blood clot on his lung.

And it was just absolutely devastating.

That there wasn't a medical error,

but to think that you had potentially missed something,

it was just devastating.

And I would never want to go through it again.

What was said was, if he'd come into hospital that day,

he would have been discharged home.

But it's always there in the back of your mind.

And that's the pressure and the responsibility you have.

That it's always there.

What if I just miss that little thing?

I don't think that's something until you do the job that people could understand.
