Ever since I was ?

I'd like to know how to write it in a right way.
Ever since i was a doctor, I have been having troubles with the patients.
I've been having troubles with the patients ever since I was a doctor.

Are the two sentences both correct ?

What I Mean is that I'm stil a doctor but i've been having troubles with the patients when I was first working as a doctor.

Abdulla AbdulAziz Al-h troubles with the patients. 'the' indicates a particular group of patients, but I don't think you intended to single out only a few patients. , without specifying any particular group.

  • Abdulla AbdulAziz Al-h troubles with the patients.
  • 'the' indicates a particular group of patients, but I don't think you intended to single out only a few patients.
  • , without specifying any particular group.
  • That means no "the".
  • 'troubles' is not wrong, but I think you want to use the uncountable 'trouble' so as not to focus on each case separately of having trouble.
