Foremost Nigerian actress, Jemima Osunde, has explained why she quit the medical field.
According to the movie actress, being a medical practitioner was making her feel depressed.
Speaking with Falz on House 21 TV, shared the emotional challenges she faced and trauma while working in healthcare.
During the interview, she said, “Medical work was making me depressed and angry. It was when I went for therapy that I found out I was bearing the weight of a lot of people suffering, and that happens a lot with healthcare workers,” she revealed.
Osunde, a trained physiotherapist, recounted a particularly difficult case to back up the challenges she had to face.

She said, “As a physiotherapist, we deal with every department. One time, I was treating a 14-year-old girl with Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) because of the trauma of vaginal delivery at such a young age, and it was too much for her body to handle. And her baby also had cerebral palsy.”
