Stories of Men: Beneath the Surface - A podcast by Alex Melia & Fascinate Productions - Tuesdays

Ged is a director for Health Education England and a clinical surgeon specialising in breast cancer. His path into medicine was anything but typical. As a high-achiever from a low-income family, he was accepted into an all-boys Catholic grammar school. After graduating, the two options that were suggested to him for his future career were either becoming a Catholic priest or becoming a doctor. He opted for the latter.
