EP 109 Spill Your Guts


Listen Later

I met Liah whilst spilling my guts in meme form about my life as a paraplegic. At the time, she was an intern on a spinal ward, and wanted to know what the experience was like, in order to gain a better perspective.

Since then we have become good friends and the idea for this episode started. Liah has been able to spill her guts, and does so in this episode, about her life growing up in Australia as the daughter of a vietnamese "boat person".

This episode is about those struggles and the interesting perspective Liah gained from growing up with her unique circumstances.

We talk about how recovery from a spinal injury is a lot like learning a language. and how it can take a lot of guts.

We get to talk about some medical slang and why the word, "guts"makes its way into our language. We talk about similar expressions that relate to revealing something and divulging information.

We've taken this opportunity to spill our guts a little bit. I hope you appreciate it!
