In France you could be working until 9pm - and if there was a big flu outbreak you could be doing visits until midnight."The system over here is better organised and there is time for you to learn and progress."The doctor added: "My wife wants to stay her whole career but I can't think that far ahead. We will certainly stay another five or so years."MORE ABOUTBrittanyGPSGreenwich
