In a TikTok video, the lady, @_drcho said when she got to the UK, she had to be registered there as a doctor before she would be allowed to work.
She said she had to first pass the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB 1) test, which is compulsory for non-UK-trained medical doctors who would like to practice in the country.

In the meantime, she was a student, and she had bills to pay, which meant she had to do something to earn money.
That was how she started working as a support worker 20 hours a week to earn enough money to care for herself.
The doctor said she was scared of what people would say, but at a point, she did not care anymore.
