In this episode of Stories of Us, Dr. Dinesh Palipana shares his remarkable journey with host Sarah Grynberg, revealing the twists and turns that led him to pursue a career in medicine despite facing significant challenges along the way. Dinesh reflects on his early years growing up in Byron Bay, Australia, recalling fond memories of the idyllic coastal town where he spent his formative years. From bike rides to flying lessons, Byron Bay was a place of joy and discovery for him. However, his path to medicine wasn't straightforward. Initially considering a career in law, Dinesh's life took a different turn when he experienced depression during his time in law school. Inspired by the doctor who helped him through this challenging period, Dinesh found his calling in medicine, driven by a desire to support others in the way he had been supported. His journey took a dramatic turn when he was involved in a devastating car accident that left him paralysed. Despite the immense challenges he faced, Dinesh persevered and continued his medical studies, eventually becoming an emergency department doctor at Gold Coast University Hospital. Through his work, he found a way to give back to others, drawing on his own experiences to provide compassionate care to those in need. And if you've enjoyed hearing Dinesh's story and would like to hear about another Gold Coast legend - check out our episode with the footballer and Matilda Tameka Yallop.

Today's guest was actually a yayborhood nomination from one of our most active contributors affectionately known as Dana Saurus or Dana Pham. Dana so generously sent a whole list of suggestions for guests a while back and this is one that has finally come to fruition. She is the founder of Junior Doctor's Corner and is a doctor herself working to provide much needed support to junior doctors entering the world of medicine and discuss important topics that are often dismissed or taboo. JDC also has its own podcast so make sure to check that out if there are any other young doctors listening in. Her nomination also hails from the medical world but is not only a doctor, he is one of those rare species who has completed degrees in both medicine AND law – the holy grain combination that very few globally dare to tackle. And if that weren't enough of a superhuman feat, Dinesh Palipana is also a quadriplegic and disability advocate becoming only the second person with quadriplegia to graduate as a doctor in Australia and the first with a spinal cord injury. Despite a life changing car accident in 2010, Dinesh now works in the Emergency Department of Gold Coast University Hospital and has co-foundedDoctors with Disabilities with two of his colleagues. He tells the story so beautifully himself so I'll stop there but I hope you find his zest for life and indelible positivity as uplifting as I did.

At just 25 years old, after a horrific car accident, Dinesh Palipana became a quadriplegic. Since then, Dinesh has become one of the most accomplished, recognised and admired figures in Australian medicine.  Dinesh lost the use of his lower body, and a large degree of function in his arms and hands. It was the beginning of a new phase of life, one that would be filled with extraordinary challenge and struggle. A phase of life that demanded resilience on a scale few of us can imagine. On this week's episode of The Risk Equation, Dr Chris Maguire explores how Dinesh recovered from the accident and began to face the realities of life through a trip to Sri Lanka, what prejudices he faced upon his return to medical school, and the amazing new innovation in the science and treatment of spinal cord injuries in recent clinical trials.   In 2020, Dinesh has been nominated as Australian of the Year,, he's a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia for service in Medicine, and was the 2019 Junior Doctor of the Year at Gold Coast University Hospital.

An unborn NSW twin whose mother was unable get approval to enter the state in time for emergency surgery has died. The pregnant Ballina woman waited to be granted an exemption for surgery at the Gold Coast University Hospital 125km away, but ended up having to wait for 16 hours in Lismore for a flight to Sydney on Thursday.  Oliver Peterson says he's "disgusted" the border issue has had anything to do with loss of life in an emergency medical situation.

Ten years ago, halfway through completing his medical degree, Dinesh Palipana's car crashed, leaving him a quadriplegic. Dinesh lost all sensory and motor function below his chest, affecting his fingers and half his arm. It took him seven months of recovering in hospital, but he emerged still determined to become a doctor. He went on to complete his medical degree, and now works as a resident at Gold Coast University Hospital in one of the busiest emergency departments in the country. Dinesh's refusal to accept the loss of his dream is paving the way not only for him, but for people with a disability around the world. He tells me on this episode of Streets of Your Town how he found his life’s purpose in medicine, and that he’s so relieved he didn’t listen to the naysayers who told him he could no longer become a doctor after his accident.

Advances in new technology are driving the use of real-world data to improve healthcare research, including big data analytics, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence in Australia. The MTPConnect podcast team chat to Queensland start-up DataRWE's Chief Technology Officer Dr Kelvin Ross and Chief Executive Officer Steve Woodyatt about developing a new Precision Medicine Data Platform that gathers patient data from multiple sources in Intensive Care Units to supports medical teams to make informed care decisions at speed for critically ill patients. The platform is being developed at the Gold Coast University Hospital with plans to expand to hospitals across Asia-Pacific. The DataRWE team discuss their COVID-19 pivot underway to roll out an adapted clinical dashboard for ICUs across the state to identify the projectory of the virus in each patient admitted, links to electronic medical records and which patients are most at risk of complications.

In today’s episode I chat with Chloe Mackie. Chloe has two children - Sunny (3) and Maya (2 weeks) - and is a midwife with a passion for antenatal care. “I want to empower women with knowledge and education. Ultimately I want to work in Midwife Group Practice or private midwifery because I believe that every woman should have the opportunity to have a known care provider through pregnancy and birth,” she says. Chloe was working at the Gold Coast University Hospital when she and husband, Jason, started trying for a baby. After two years and a few miscarriages, they sought the advice of a fertility specialist who told them they had unexplained infertility. In the months following they did three rounds of intrauterine insemination (IUI) but to no avail. Chloe found the experience to be emotionally taxing so on the fourth month she opted to have a break. She decided to go back to the basics - yoga, acupuncture and improving her holistic health - and she fell pregnant naturally on her next cycle.  “When we were trying to conceive people would often tell me that if I stopped thinking about it, it would happen. That was the hardest thing to hear because you can’t stop thinking about it; every minute of every day you just want a baby. And every time I got my period I’d feel like a failure. Coincidentally though, when I did start thinking about it…thinking about me and my husband and our health…we fell pregnant.” Chloe opted to have a private midwife who would support her throughout the pregnancy, attended her home birth and care for her six week postpartum. Like her mother and her cousin before her Chloe suffered from hyperemesis and was so sick in the first two trimesters that she needed constant care as she was unable to get out of bed by herself. She enlisted the help of her naturopath and acupuncturist and by 30 weeks she improved. She experienced a typical first labour with contractions over three to four afternoons and nights that seemed to stop come morning. After her fourth round of acupuncture in as many days, labour  established quickly and her contractions were strong and steady. She settled in at home where she paced and listened to music and later that evening her midwife arrived and discovered she was 5cm dilated. Not long after her membranes ruptured and there was meconium present which indicates that the baby had done a poo in utero. It’s one of the reasons that a woman must transfer to hospital from home and so Chloe and Jason made their way to Gold Coast University Hospital with their private midwife. On the car journey Chloe noticed increased back pain and when she got to the birthing suite she discovered that baby was posterior with a asynclitism presentation (his head was off to the side). “It’s like trying to push a triangle through a circle,” she says. She opted to have Sterile Water Injections - non-pharmacological pain relief which is administered by two midwives mid-contraction. Ultimately they trick your brain into thinking there’s no localised pain in that area and allows you to remain upright so you can stay active and help rotate your baby into a more optimal birth position. They only last 1-2 hours and they are very painful when they’re administered - like hundreds of bee stings - but the pain only lasts a few minutes. Chloe spent the following hours sumo stomping, walking up and down stairs and practising side-lying releases (you lay on the bed and drop one foot off to the side as someone supports your hips; it changes the diameter of the pelvis and encourages baby into better position). Unfortunately all of Chloe’s work hadn’t encouraged her baby into a better position so she opted for a second round of water injections (not a common occurrence) and went through the motions again. At 7cm she talked to the Obstetrician who was empathetic to her situation and her birth plan. They discussed an emergency cesarean and whilst Chloe accepted that it was a safe option for both her and her baby, she wanted to buy an extra hour of time and opted to have an epidural. Thirty minutes after it was administered she felt the urge to push.   “When my midwife checked me she asked me to put my finger inside to feel my baby. And he was right there! It was a perfect example of an epidural working beautifully. It released my pelvic floor muscles and allowed my baby to come down on his own. We did an hour of passive descent and then I pushed for 15 minutes and he was born!” They went home 6 hours later and Chloe was having excruciating after pains but no increased bleeding. Eighteen hours later she had taken her quota in paracetamol and Nurofen and started developing a fever so they returned to hospital thinking that she may have retained placenta but nothing was found. She was administered IV antibiotics and went home with oral antibiotics but within hours, Chloe declined rapidly.  “The pain was getting worse by the minute and I had this overwhelming feeling that something was very wrong,” she says. “I was slipping in and out of consciousness and I lost control of my bladder so Jason called the ambulance and I was given broad spectrum antibiotics on arrival.” She couldn’t feed Sunny or access donor milk so her best friend came to the hospital to feed him and continued expressing during Chloe’s hospital stay. Chloe was diagnosed with Group A Strep that had colonised in her genital tract and developed into Septicemia. It was a traumatic time but  thanks to fast acting antibiotics, she fully recovered within a few weeks.  When Sunny was two, Chloe had a miscarriage and then fell pregnant the following month. Bracing for the worst of hyperemesis, she enlisted the help of her naturopath and acupuncturist early on and whilst she definitely was sick, it wasn’t nearly as severe as her first pregnancy. At 41 + 1 she went into labour and headed to the hospital shortly afterward so she could settle into her birth space with its dimmed lights, music and birth pool.  Once again the baby was posterior with an asynclitism presentation so Chloe opted for water injections and side-lying release which worked instantly. “I felt her turn and then I slid off the bed and had the sudden urge to bear down. Jason picked me up and put me in the bath and Maya was born 12 minutes later. It was very healing and we really needed that,” she says.  Topics include: Hyperemesis, infertility, posterior, sterile water injections, acupuncture, side-lying release, asynclitism, group a strep, septicemia,

In this interview conducted at the RANZCP's 2019 Congress in Cairns, Professor Chris Stapelberg, joint Chair in Mental Health for Bond University and the Gold Coast University Hospital, describes his approach to biomarker research, and how an understanding of the complex interrelationships between psychological, immune, and neuroendocrine systems may lead to individually targeted treatment regimes known as precision psychiatry.

Nemat Alsaba @talk2nemat    Nemat drops in for #HcSimWeek19 to share about 2 great sim projects she is involved with at Gold Coast University Hospital and Bond University

In this, another joint feature with Advances in Simulation journal, we explore three main ideas: Why does simulation have such a symbiosis with culture? How to we understand more about this relationship? ie. there is nothing so practical as a good theory. What does can this teach us about targeting culture as a translational objective in a sim program? To answer these questions we stir in the ingredients of a thriving simulation program/service at Gold Coast University Hospital, two pieces of academic work from our guests, and some personal reflection along the way. The guests for this episode are Simulcast partner in crime, Victoria Brazil, and the very clever, Canadian Emergency Doc, Anthropologist, author and adventurer on temporary loan to Australia, Eve Purdy. The publications of interest are: Brazil, V., E. Purdy, C. Alexander and J. Matulich (2019). "Improving the relational aspects of trauma care through translational simulation."
