Today\u2019s guest was actually a yayborhood nomination from one of our most active contributors affectionately known as Dana Saurus or Dana Pham. Dana so generously sent a whole list of suggestions for guests a while back and this is one that has finally come to fruition. She is the founder of Junior Doctor\u2019s Corner and is a doctor herself working to provide much needed support to junior doctors entering the world of medicine and discuss important topics that are often dismissed or taboo. JDC also has its own podcast so make sure to check that out if there are any other young doctors listening in.\n\nHer nomination also hails from the medical world but is not only a doctor, he is one of those rare species who has completed degrees in both medicine AND law \u2013 the holy grain combination that very few globally dare to tackle. And if that weren\u2019t enough of a superhuman feat, Dinesh Palipana is also a quadriplegic and disability advocate becoming only the second person with quadriplegia to graduate as a doctor in Australia and the first with a spinal cord injury. Despite a life changing car accident in 2010, Dinesh now works in the Emergency Department of Gold Coast University Hospital and has co-foundedDoctors with Disabilities with two of his colleagues. He tells the story so beautifully himself so I\u2019ll stop there but I hope you find his zest for life and indelible positivity as uplifting as I did.\n\nPs The audio is a bit dicky at times \u2013 the joys of Zoom strike again \u2013 so excuse a few spots where it\u2019s a bit muffled.\n\n+ Follow Dinesh Palipana here\n+ Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah\n+ Join our Facebook community here
