10 Questions with Dr Lim Keng Hua
"Stay focused on your course. When things become tough, always steer back to the initial reason you want to be a doctor. Everyone’s journey will be different. It’s the endpoint that matters – the reason why you want to be a doctor. Start your carer with a correct compass and always check that you have not deviated."
