The Weekly Dose With Dr Niall
"In certain situations, you can either laugh or cry and if you're not a pretty crier like me, then that leaves you with only one option". Join Dr Niall for your weekly dose of laughter with stories from the bedside and the bed. Niall, a junior doctor working in Ireland gives a light-hearted insight into being both a patient with a rare progressive neurodegenerative disease and a practicing medic and how the interplay between both has influenced his outlook on everyday life and his approach to medicine. Regardless of the topic, the moto is that humour is therapeutic and promotes reliance, so tune in, relax and have a laugh.
