Description

Join us as we sit down with Mohammed Belal, a consultant urological surgeon at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. Mohammed shares his remarkable journey of recovery from a severe spinal cord injury, a life-altering event that saw him transition from surgeon to patient and back again. 

Tune in for an inspiring conversation that explores the profound resilience required to not only heal but also to return to theatre. Offering insights into the emotional and physical challenges surgeons face when the roles are reversed, Mohammed’s story is a testament of strength, vulnerability, and the intricate connections between our professional and personal lives.
