A Life Less Ordinary
Update: 2011-02-07
Description
In the first programme, Dr. Austin O'Carroll tells his story. Austin is a medical doctor who is a survivor of thalidomide. He persevered in his chosen career path despite being told initially that his disability would rule him out. He has firsthand experience of the problems facing those marginalised by homelessness and addiction. Since taking over a practice in Dublin's inner city in 1997, he has become increasingly involved in developing medical services for the homeless, not only in Dublin, but also in other major cities like Cork and Galway.
