In this episode, I speak with Dr Nicoletta Fossati, consultant anaesthetist at St. George's hospital, and honorary reader in clinical education and anaesthesia at St. George's University of London. We chat about navigating one's 'new' identity after becoming suddenly disabled later in life, and the grieving process that accompanies this process. Nicoletta tells us about the perks of being a 'reformed perfectionist' as a disabled clinician and academic.
