Finding Borders interviews Dr Marta Cohen. Brendan and Llewellyn join Dr Cohen in yet another triple-timezone conversation about her origins from Trenque Lauqen, Argentina, her current role at the Sheffield Children’s hospital, and an honorary professor at the University of Sheffield.

“My life changed for $10”. For a pittance, Marta Cohen had been able to, with help of friend and mentor, Dr Roc Kaschula, commence a traineeship at Cape Town’s Red Cross Children’s Hospital. The rest is history. Hosts discuss Dr Cohen’s struggles in the field - specifically Scotland Yard’s doubt in the efficacy of her opinions in a shaken baby case, putting her license at a risk by the General Medical Council.
