Everybody Has a Story

Doctors are sometimes meant to have supernatural powers that can fix anything. "Half a chicken carcass hammered to a cabin door with a large knife saying-you and me are not getting across the Atlantic together." Are just one of the things Dr Mark Parrish had to fix on one occasion while on the HMS Endurance. Join me and Australian British doctor Mark Parrish talks us through this and other adventures that range from mountaineering expeditions to Afghanistan, India, China and Pakistan; cycling the Nile; and deployments with the Navy and other work.

Is it just ‘baby blues’?

Everyone’s heard of the ‘baby blues’, but maternal mental health is much more complex. Unfortunately, around the world, many clinical and even social settings are ill-equipped to understand Postpartum Depression. In this deeply personal episode, I catch up with Chris Garrett, senior executive of DocDoc, as he shares his family’s life-changing experience and journey towards creating greater awareness of this common issue.

Is there a doctor onboard?
