My job has been one of duty and privilege, working worldwide with wonderful colleagues. Few people are lucky enough to save lives or change them for the better. Few also experience the horror of losing lives or worsening them. In this lecture I want to share some of the astonishing experiences - funny, scary, sad - that have made my job so satisfying.

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/nice-work-if-you-can-get-it-life-as-a-childrens-heart-surgeon
