Things I love:

- Priority boarding on flights
- Being on a train and the only accessible one is first class.
- Not having to get up to pee every half an hour
- Nice physio therapy massages
- Hunky doctors
- When someone says I can’t do something and I do it, proving them and seeing their shocked face
- A unique outlook on life
- Practically a doctor without the spiralling debt
Hate:
