The inspiring story of an IMG who was working as an aged care assistant… until Dr Palipana intervened
Dr Juan Torres was about to give up when he came across the story of the Gold Coast doctor who pushed on despite quadriplegia
Dr Juan Torres was starting to lose hope he would ever practise in Australia, as the pandemic placed hurdle after hurdle in his path.
The IMG was on the verge of giving up when he asked the indomitable Dr Dinesh Palipana, a Gold Coast emergency doctor for help.
Dr Palipana is a seasoned campaigner at overcoming challenges, having completed his medical training against all odds after a horrific accident left him with quadriplegia in his third year.
“Dr Palipana was just so inspiring, he was so helpful, he wouldn’t take no for an answer,” Dr Torres, a newly minted junior doctor tells 6minutes.
