Leaving Glasgow

I return to Yorkhill only to find myself attached to paediatric cardiology.  We discuss a tiny baby, Tom, who is admitted with a very serious congenital heart defect known as transposition of the great arteries. The challenges his parents face and the support they receive from the cardiology staff is substantial and you need to listen to find out what happens to Tom. We also discuss an infant who develops a very severe form of epilepsy known as Dravet syndrome and briefly review this epilepsy and the challenges it brings. I find myself applying for a consultant post in Sheffield for interview practice and I prepare to move to Australia for an attachment in child neurology in Sydney.
