I am so excited to introduce you to my very first In-Joy guest, Dad, or more formally, Dr Richard Grutzner.

With a doctor-nurse duo for parents, my earliest memories of psycho-education start here. As such, this feels like the perfect place to kick off my interview series.

Dad shares his keys to success, along with 'a day the life' of an anaesthetist, patient psychological profiles, industry stressors, mental health insights and naturally, a few below-average dad jokes to keep spirits high.

He shares his experiences working in a multi-disciplinary team treating depressed patients with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which is both somber and eye opening.

He shares insights into his early career in medicine, working days straight without sleep or a break.

In this way, we explore two sides of the same coin - the psychological experiences of a doctor, as well as the patient.

Welcome dad, and enjoy team!
