Did you know that we’re up to other things in other places too?

Oh, we’re on Snapchat too - just in case you were wondering… add us, bbcthree.

She seems so kind and caring, such a nice doctor!

This young woman is a credit to the NHS!

Sofia your one in a million, always smiling and an excellent bedside manner. You can tell she's not in it for the prestige but to genuinely help people, love it.

We need more medical staff like her. What a lovely person 💜

Stumbled upon this video and was mesmerised. What an amazing young woman ... and there are many others like her. Unfortunately there are also some in the medical profession who could learn a lot from her, in spite of her youth and inexperience. Compassion, empathy, understanding ... as someone with a chronic illness and who's been in hospital too many times to count, I would have loved her to have been my doctor.

Strangely, the one thing that brought tears to my eyes was when she spoke to her family on the other side of the world. To leave everything she knew and loved to follow her dream .... that's true commitment ... 💜💙

Come on guys, she's looking after your dying family member with compassion and knowledge. She's worked hard since she was in school, she's bright and caring and deserves better than "better marry her quick", "get a prostate exam off her".

As a female doctor I can say these comments don't stop on the internet, they happen at work too, even of you mean them to be a compliment they feel quite degrading.

Seems really nice and genuine. I just hope she doesn't lose it

Oh my gosh as a nursing student who gets so anxious about needing to know everything, it was so awesome to see that even she is still learning, makes me feel a bit more relaxed about things! Wishing her all the best xx

I actually feel a little jealous when I see such hardworking and determined students. I just sit on my ass all day.😓

[chloe-laurenlambert]

Wow what a stunning lovely girl she is parents must be super proud

[Natasha-yqdf]

Even with such a hectic time, she seems really genuinely compassionate, and it shows in how she talks to her patients. That makes such a difference!

It’s crazy how childhood memories link to careers

[chrissy]

Such a calm persona... I wish I had that mentality to be so strong

[sugariieswt]

She's so sweet! Love her cheery personality and optimism, even when working under so much pressure & with lack of resources

[HollyJordan]

What a wonderful young lady, a credit to the NHS

[sarahbears]

I love that she didn’t beat herself up for not knowing things...even though her job has a lot more pressure than many others, it’s still like any job in that you can’t possibly know everything!

[katielee]

Wow. BLESS HER!! shes such an angel and so sweet. Lots if love and light to her!!

[EFChartley]

People like this give me FAITH in the UK!

[SarahDawesFilms]

What a lovely junior doctor this young lady is. If only all doctors were this down to earth xxxx

[raulfernandezg]

I wish more doctors would be this nice! Just having her around makes you feel better...
