Dr Bruce Powell was Australia’s longest-serving State Director of Organ and Tissue Donation, a highly experienced Anaesthetist, and Head of Department in Intensive Care Unit at Rockingham Hospital, Western Australia.
In 2018, Bruce’s medical career was ended by a terrible cycling accident. Luck was with him that day and despite his multiple injuries, he survived. Major brain trauma, along with shattered chest, hands, spine and jaw, has ended his working life and remains a daily challenge.
Bruce feels that he has been gifted precious time to explore a broad range of exciting, stimulating topics. And especially to focus on his writing. In this episode of Podstreet, Bruce talks to Writing WA’s Will Yeoman about the joys and challenges of becoming a writer following a life-changing accident.
