Listen "#02: Dr Luke Streitberg - a former prison doctor on the human side of medicine, a career changing tragedy and the path back from the brink "
Episode Synopsis
Dr Luke Streitberg is a forensic medicine specialist and GP who currently heads up The Canberra Hospital's DPET (Department of Prevocational Education and Training).
In short terms, he looks out for all the junior docs in the hospital.
Luke previously spent many years working in the prison system, where a tragic case ended with him leaving prison medicine. Luke opens up in this chat about his path back to where he is now and how his darkest moments led him to realise what it takes to offer meaningful support to others going through the same.
We discuss:
- Luke's journey as a Junior doctor
- His time in the prison system providing care to some of the most vulnerable in the community
- His worst moments and the overwhelming pressures of medicine when things go wrong
- How Luke found his way back to now be an incredible source of support for so many
This episode was recorded at the end of last year towards the end of my time as an intern (1st year out Doc), and I can't thank Luke enough for being so open and honest in this conversation which I got a lot out of and hope you do too!
