A Nigerian lady, previously employed as a medical doctor in Nigeria, shared her story of relocating to the UK, where she found herself in a support role.

In a video, she recounted her journey from being a respected doctor in Nigeria to accepting a less prestigious job in a foreign land.

As shared by @drcho, the decision to take on the support role was influenced by her student status in the UK, which limited her working hours to 20 per week, making it challenging to secure a position as a medical doctor.
