Resilience with Dr. Marie-Louise Sprenkels

As we cross the finish line of 2020 we’re joined by retired anaesthetist and academic anaesthesiologist Dr. Marie-Louise Sprenkels, talking to us about resilience whilst sharing her wisdom & stories from her career on the wards of Cape Town’s biggest major trauma centre. There also seems to be some jingly interference on the airwaves… 

While Marie-Louise is not on social media for you to follow, you can certainly follow her advice: wash your hands, wear a mask, look after yourself and stay safe! 

Content warning: brief mention of suicide @ 16:36 - 17:00
