Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Sunita Sah (on defiance)

Here, you have to work so hard. I got all my education for free, which is pretty impressive. There's a small cost now in the UK, but I went through the whole of medical school. I mean, earning peanuts once you start as a junior doctor. But that aspect of working earlier is great. So you can get through. Making the decision so early, questionable.

Although I say my career is perfectly planned. Yeah. It was perfectly planned how I ended up here. But suddenly there was a lot of pressure and I lived up to those expectations of going to medical school and then finishing medical school and ended up working as a doctor.

I knew it wasn't for me. There were certain aspects I really loved, like the analytical part. I'm always analytical. I was always thinking, always questioning.

I'm really fascinated by people as well. So just talking to people, meeting people, learning about their lives. So that aspect was great. I wasn't actually into the blood and gore aspect. I remember talking to my teachers about that, like, oh, I don't know about medicine. And they were like, it's just two years preclinical. You're going to do that fine.

And then just get through the clinical years and then you can end up doing research.

So I was always interested in psychology. So when I was at medical school, I did my two years preclinical and then I took a year out to do what they call an intercalated degree in psychology. So they basically throw you in the fourth year of psychology and you catch up on the four years in that one year. But that was... Such a wonderful year. It was amazing.

That's when I started reading about Milgram Stanley's famous experiments, Obedience to Authority. I became fascinated with that, who did what we call the electric shock experiment. Yes, yes, yes. So Stanley Milgram was really fascinated by why the Nazis in World War II always kept saying, I was just following orders afterwards when they were being investigated for war crimes. Yeah.

And so he decided to set up this experiment, which was quite elaborate, where he would bring people in from the community and they would be an actor. It was designed as an experiment on memory. That's what they thought they were coming into. And whether giving someone electric shocks would help them learn better. Wow. So that was the setup.
