“Hospital windows can offer some of the most extraordinary views of life around us. Working in healthcare means we miss out on a lot of significant memories with families and friends outside the healthcare profession. We sometimes have to ‘celebrate’ within the hospital walls. But at the same time, on those days off, instead of going and enjoying the outdoors, we might just want to stay in and rest.”


Joanne Philip is a junior doctor working in a private hospital in India. She completed her medical school in Tbilisi, Georgia. She is interested in topics such as physician mental health and global health and equity. She enjoys the beauty and art of medicine and believes that artistic observations can help bring more empathy and understanding to her practice.
