COVID Diaries
I contract COVID in Gozo and turn fourteen days of illness, guilt and isolation into study, writing and unexpected growth.
General Surgery – First Day

Shining
I thrive in orthopaedics, form a close friendship and confront the favouritism and sexism in healthcare.
Orthopaedic Surgery – First Day
I begin my orthopaedics rotation, meet a chaotic new team and discover a surgical world built on speed, strength and bone.
