Once I started, it quickly became clear that I had found my passion!\u00a0<\/p><p>Now, as a practising neurosurgeon in Brisbane, I remember telling people at the start of my career, that \u2018I wanted to help people.\u2019 I thought it was the correct thing to say. I soon developed the courage, however, to embrace my much less altruistic and personal truth: I just love anatomy and the physics of surgery! The funny thing is, while this is still most definitely true, now, when a patient tells me that, due to what I&#8217;ve said or done, their quality of life has greatly improved, I realise I\u2019ve come to understand what it means to help people. Full circle!
