Show Notes
Well today we welcome Daniel to the R2Kast 🎙️ A brilliant chat with someone who has lived a life full of stories long before becoming a medical student. From being born on a farm to cycling thousands of miles through places like Syria, Sudan and Pakistan, his tales of hospitality, fear, humour and pure naivety were unreal. 🌾
We spoke about the moments that shaped him most, from strangers handing him fruit in the middle of nowhere to months spent helping in refugee camps across France and Greece. His passion for people and that sense of humanity came through in everything he said. 🍎
One of my favourite parts was when Daniel explained why he moved into remote and rural medicine on the ScotGEM course, and how rural placements in Orkney and Inverness have helped him see health, community and change in a whole new way. It really showed the mix of resilience and compassion that drives him. 🌍
We wrapped up talking nature, wellbeing and why looking after yourself is far more important than people admit. A chat full of honesty, laughs and moments that stay with you.
Enjoy! 🙂
