Liz O'Riordan: speaker, writer, breast surgeon with breast cancer....

Send us a textIt was an honour and a pleasure to record today's episode with one of the most engaging, gracious and thoughtful people I've met.  Liz O'Riordan, writer, speaker, campaigner, breast cancer patient and breast surgeon. When I joined Twitter Liz  O'Riordan quickly became someone I was aware of and fascinated to follow.  She is a #medtwitter hero and an incredible role model.  We talk about her breast cancer,  and its effect on her and on her career. How no matter how good a breast cancer doctor she was, she had little clue what it would actually be like to have breast cancer.  We discuss the book she wrote with fellow doctor/breast cancer patient Prof Trish Greenhalgh, how academic writing bears little resemblance to the writing people/patients would actually want to read.  We also talk about her new book, mental health stigma in medicine and so much more.Liz's website is here:https://liz.oriordan.co.uk/She has incredibly generously offered podcast listeners a discount on her new book using the code BEDSIDE10 for 10% off until midnight 19 Dec 2022 https://unbound.com/books/under-the-knifeFollow Liz on Twitter https://twitter.com/Liz_ORiordan
