摘要

Narratives of work by medical doctors in the public hospital sector in Hong Kong, who had accumulated approximately 10 years or more of work experience there, were collected for this study through the use of partially structured interviews. This chapter explains the methodology of the data collection process. It then presents and discusses the results of the thematic analysis of the interview narratives, showing the various ideals and meanings doctors ascribed to their work, the benefits they saw in their work, the standards of work they set themselves, the challenges they faced, and the coping strategies they used. The chapter uses extensive interview quotations to allow doctors’ own voices to come through. These direct quotations reveal the spectrum of reflections, experiences, and moments—whether small and fleeting, or lasting and profound—that shaped their journey.
