Life in Medicine

Rondhir Jithoo is a neurosurgeon who has such a wide range in his career it is hard to summarise briefly. I first met Rondhir about 20 years ago and I am amazed what he has done during that time. 

Andrew Fravel is a recent orthopaedic graduate with a strong interest in joint replacement infection. More importantly he calm and balanced approach to his work life balance. 

Chris Stokes is an registrar that has recently completed his final exam. He offers insights to life beyond training. 

Paul is a recent registrar that I have had the pleasure of working with over the recent years. Once again, I got to listen to what the next generation of doctors and surgeons think about their work, training dn what life might look like in the future. 

Patrick Elias is a orthopaedic registrar that has recently been accepted onto the training programme for orthopaedics. He discussed the challenges of having a young family and balancing that with a busy medical life. 

Nick Paltoglou has been a trainee registrar at our hospital and this was chance to look back on the good the bad and what could be better. We talked about the challenges that can be seen during training. 

The podcast guests today Ben, Muqi and Nick. These are three people that I've worked with regularly over the last 12 months and beyond. It's very much a light-hearted podcast and I hope you enjoy it.

Ben Lyons is a Orthopaedic nurse at a major Melbourne trauma centre. He has a wealth of of experience and has a great attitude towards his word and life in general.

Jarrad Stevens is an othopaedic surgeon. We talked about medicine, the military and some of the challenges that daily life offers us. 

Luis Prado is the CMO for Epworth healthcare. He has been in the role for some years now. However, as always with these conversations we quickly left medicine and talked about gardening, history and military history. We did touch on COVID but not as much as one would think.
