*Trigger warning this episode mentions experience of sexual
harassment*On this episode of the KICPOD Steph and Laura had the
pleasure of speaking with Australian surgeon and author Neela
Janakiramanan. They chatted with Neela about her upcoming novel
‘The Registrar’ which was inspired by her personal experiences
throughout her surgical training and unpacks the cost of success in
the medical industry. Neela talks to the harsh reality of the
surgical profession and how she had to endure sexual harassment,
burnout and mental health deterioration to achieve success.
This conversation provides an uncomfortable insight into the lives
of budding surgeons whilst also reminding us of the importance of
implementing tactics to support our mental health in the workplace.
Neela also provides some wonderful advice on how we can best manage
ourselves in high pressure environments and how we can ensure we’re
truly switching off when we’re away from work. Neela’s novel
The Registrar can be pre-ordered at Booktopia. SPECIAL
