About this listen
Happy New Year and today I'm joined by Dr Rob Thomson. Rob is a dual trainee in Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia who is currently studying for his fellowship exam. Our conversation starts with Rob explaining his journey from growing up in a rural town to becoming a doctor ((01:49). We then explore the personal and financial sacrifice that comes with dual training and the burden this puts on your other half (10:28). I then ask Rob about the perception of Junior Doctors being wealthy and the hard truth about all the hidden fees that come with being a Junior Doctor (15:34). Rob then shares his wisdom on how to make money work for you as a Junior Doctor and ultimately be financially smart (25:43). We then change topic completely and talk about what makes Intensivist special and that is being experts in difficult family conversations including organ donation (33:17). We finish off our conversation with discussing the legalities of providing end of life care in Queensland (44:18). We packed a lot into this episode and hope you enjoy listening!
