TikTok star and skitmaker Ben South, known as Dabodabo, recently opened up about why he left nursing shortly after graduating in 2023.
He shared that balancing comedy with his nursing duties was tough, especially after witnessing frequent deaths during his National Service at Suntreso Hospital in Kumasi.
During an interview on The Delay Show, Ben South revealed how those experiences impacted his mental health. "I couldn't blend the comedy job with nursing, so I had to choose one, and I chose comedy," he said.
He recounted starting his National Service in the Emergency Ward, where he often saw death and accident victims, which made him feel emotionally drained. "Whenever I got home, I'd feel sad thinking about the deaths and accidents that had happened at the hospital," he shared.
