A very warm welcome to everyone - new and old - to the 2nd season of “Not A Doctor” podcast. In this first episode, I take a look at the biology behind ethics and morals - is it something made up philosophically and through society, or is there a biological basis to it?

Hey there!

Listen to this chat I had with Peo a little while back (sorry for being absent!)

We talk about the journey of getting to medicine, what it's like to be a medical student in general and in UCD, some stuff about how to deal with the stress and anxiety of medical school and other things!

Keep in touch with me - Twitter & YouTube

Sharing is caring, I'd appreciate the love ❤️🌈

Hey! This is a very special episode as it's my first time having a guest on my podcast!

In this episode, I talk with Brianne Leeson, an amazing woman who got diagnosed with ADHD and Autism as an adult. She helps other neurodiverse people find their way through the challenges that are unfortunately put in place by & within society, and of course, the healthcare system.

Make sure to give this episode a listen as we talk about a lot of Brianne's personal experiences where the healthcare system has let her down and how it generally treats people with disabilities/impairments in general & neurodiversity. 

You can find Brianne at:
