Summary

Trish and Lorraine are joined by Dr Gabriel Watson, surgeon, author and TV presenter for a fascinating and funny interview about her professional and personal experiences of the NHS. From the sexual harassment she's witnessed as one of only 14% of female surgeons in the UK, to living with her own chronic heart condition as well as parenting a teenager through a devastating, life-threatening illness, she shares her life saving advice for your heart health and trusting your instincts as a parent to advocate for a sick child. There are life affirming stories aplenty too, from unleashing her menopause ‘beast’ and how having a ‘midlife benign, ruined look’ can change your career for the better. Plus: Good vibes at a sound bath adventure & confessions from a motorway service station loo.
