⚡️About Doctor On Holiday:
My name is Kiran and I’m a junior doctor (GP trainee) and comedian. Finding information about your health can be overwhelming, boring and unreliable as you scroll through pages of sites trying to sell you essential oils to cure that pain in your elbow. I’m hoping to empower people to understand more about their health, but also to make it easy and fun to watch. I hope you enjoy my videos and that they can help you achieve a different outlook on your health and I’d love to hear from you on Instagram (@doctoronholiday).
