Episode Synopsis

In part 2 of the discussion with Dr Scott Brennan, he discusses his transition away from Olympic rowing towards medicine and his first few years as a junior doctor and critical care registrar training in both emergency and anaesthetics.

We cover
- Scott's first years as a junior doctor and lessons learned
- His time as an emergency registrar and why he decided to pursue anaesthetics training
- Scott's failures in medicine which he very kindly discusses candidly, in addition to his decision making process as a father
- Scott's philosophy for approaching goals using his ideas of radical curiosity and courage + living for one's "guidestone"
- Our shared experiences in Nepal and how these times shaped our lives and careers

Thanks for listening! We’d love to hear what you think - share your thoughts and let us know what resonated with you the most. We're looking at making this podcast solely focused towards junior docs and med students but any ideas for guests outside of medicine are always welcome!
