Today I am star struck and inspired to Switch the Sitch with NSW Australian of the year Dr Munjed Al Muderis. 

Dr Munjed and I discuss the fear he felt when the hospital he worked in as a surgeon in Iraq was stormed by soldiers of Saddam Hussein, demanding he and his team cut off the ears of civilian’s. We discuss how fleeing Iraq for the unknown and landing in Australia as a refugee shaped his career and gave him the courage to become a pioneer of osteointegration, inserting a titanium implant into bone. This technique enables amputees to recover with greater mobility and recover a certain level of feeling in the limb.

I am humbled to take our listeners on Dr Munjed’s journey from landing in Australia as a refugee, to being a NSW Australian of the year award recipient for his amazing work with others.

This is an amazing journey and one definitely worth tuning in for!
