Stories of Men: Beneath the Surface

Fronting up to guilt: why we can't always be in control


Listen Later

Robert was a young doctor working in an intensive care ward when a patient was urgently admitted to him with pancreatitis. Robert proceeded to provide treatment for his patient and left him in what he believed to be a stable condition.

Later on, the alarm over his patient’s bed was triggered. Robert and a team of specialist doctors and nurses rushed to the scene. The patient’s bag had filled with blood and his heart had stopped. Robert was panic-stricken and filled with guilt.  How responsible had he been for the patient entering such a critical condition? And would he and his team now be able to save the patient’s life?

Alex Melia, and the Stories of Men team are on a mission to uncover what it means to live an independent and meaningful life. We'll be sharing this knowledge with you every week.


We’d like to extend our appreciation to today’s guest, Robert. His willingness to explore such a traumatic moment in his life is deeply moving and highly appreciated. It also provides a vital part of the puzzle as we try to piece together what it means to be a man in today’s world.
