About this listen
A puddle of water on a highway changed Dinesh Palipana's life forever. Halfway through medical school, Dinesh was involved in a catastrophic car accident that caused a cervical spinal cord injury. After his accident, his strength and determination saw him return to complete medical school - now with quadriplegia. Dinesh was the first quadriplegic medical intern in Queensland, and the second person with quadriplegia to graduate medical school in Australia.
Despite all of the pain and hardship he's faced, Dinesh now sees his accident as a turning point for the better in his life. He believes it has made him a better doctor, with a better grasp of the concerns and fears of his patients, and a more sensitive, open human. He fights for equal and equitable access for disabled people, and is a compassionate and skilled doctor working in one of Australia's busiest hospitals.
After everything he's been through, Dinesh believes he is now happier, stronger and more capable than he was before the accident. It helped him to clarify what was important in his life, and taught him that happiness and strength can always be found within.

Really interesting book
This is a really interesting book telling of the challenges and triumphs of a man who became a quadriplegic after a terrible car accident. Rather, than giving up he went in to become a Doctor, in one of the busiest hospitals in Australia! It is a very inspiring and uplifting book. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I absolutely loved every bit of this book. Dinesh provides an honest and raw account of his life journey. I laughed and cried as I listened to the book. Thank you Dr D for being so vulnerable and open.
