When illness strikes suddenly, it can turn your world upside down in an instant. For Gabriel Wong, a brain infection spread to his spine, leaving him with paraplegia and forcing him to relearn what his body could and could not do. In this episode of Beyond The Diagnosis, we’ll hear his journey of rehabilitation — the day-to-day labour of rebuilding strength, the frustrations of small setbacks, and the triumph of small victories. We’ll also hear from Prof Dr Julia Patrick Engkasan, a consultant rehabilitation physician, about the support that survivors of spinal cord injuries need.

Beyond The Diagnosis is a series about people living with NCDs, going beyond the diagnosis to explore their personal experiences, their challenges, as well as the impact of their health condition on their loved ones. These stories reveal the importance of understanding the unique struggles and needs of the individuals behind the disease, in our response to the NCD epidemic.

Imagine being bullied at the workplace, where you’re shouted at, and humiliated by, your boss on a daily basis. Cheryl tolerated this for several months, in a workplace where such behaviour had been normalised, until she realised the job wasn’t worth sacrificing her dignity and mental health for. On this episode of  ‘Because Feelings Matter’, Cheryl describes the toxic work environment she had to endure, and the journey of self-awareness that led her to step away for her own mental well-being.
