#168 - Dr Bimbi Fernando - The Healing Power of Kindness

In this week's Podcast, Wendy K Laidlaw speaks with Dr. Bimbi Fernando, who is a Consultant Transplant Surgeon, Associate Professor at University College London, and the author of his new book called The Forgotten Compass.

From the chaos of the Covid pandemic frontlines, Dr. Bimbi Fernando shares how kindness from others became a surprising compass during those extremely challenging times.

Together, Wendy & Dr Bimbi explore how the global pandemic became a catalyst for emotional reconnection, community appreciation, and a renewed commitment to highlight kindness acts in both medicine and everyday life.

Dr. Fernando reflects on the emotional toll of transplant surgery and the profound ripple effects of organ donation, and how a simple moment (standing with his family on the doorstep during the "Clap for Carers") shifted his worldview forever.

You'll hear about:

  • The emotional awakening sparked by the pandemic

  • Why kindness is more than a virtue - it's a vital life skill

  • Dr Bimbi's Sri Lankan roots and the legacy of generosity in his family

  • How self-kindness and imperfection can lead to deeper healing

  • His vision for a purposeful retirement and a more compassionate healthcare model

This is a powerful episode for anyone seeking hope, connection, or a reminder that kindness (to yourself first - and then others), is both healing and transformative.

You can learn more and read about Dr Bimbi's book "The Forgotten Compass".
