Medicine has a culture of shame – we need to change it

Dr Ashlea Broomfield

A Wednesday night, chilling out watching Colin from Accounts: a medical student called Ashley, a man called Gordon, and a dog called Colin. Entertaining, easy Aussie humour and a unique story line. The perfect unwinding type of show.

Ashley is a typical student: highly intelligent and getting by within the poverty of full-time study and unstable rental housing. She has recently broken up with a long-term boyfriend and is navigating a difficult relationship with her mother.
