We shared a meal in a warzone | Shehan Hettiaratchy

On a humanitarian mission to Gaza, Shehan's driver gave him a thank you that he would never forget.


Leading trauma surgeon, Shehan Hettiaratchy, thinks a lot about kindness in healthcare, not least when he was admitted to his own A&E with kidney stones! In this episode, he also shares what it was like to have someone step in just in time to save his daughter and how, whilst on a surgical mission to Ukraine, he received a gift that will stay with him.


If you like the episode, or are interested in Shehan and his work, do go and read or listen to his memoir The Careful Surgeon which is out now. It's a beautiful book.


Thanks so much for being here!
