Writing on Medium has been my way to tell the real story of what happened to me and my career as a physician, after being silenced and villified by my professional regulator. Each piece has been very painful to write and some may be difficult to read, as they include raw topics such as coercive control, sexual violence, suicidality, and grief/loss. Writing has given me the voice that I could not use for a long time, and for that, I am grateful.
