Professor Lynette Denny is one of medicine’s foremost trailblazers in the field of cervical cancer research. A world-renowned gynaecological oncologist, distinguished scientist, and passionate advocate for women’s health issues around the globe.
In this episode of Awakening Doctor, we talked candidly about her lifetime of public service in South Africa, her unwavering dedication to her patients, and her own experience of living with advanced breast cancer. Medical errors, illness narratives, institutional and systemic failures, confrontations with death, and the challenges of navigating both sides of the doctor-patient divide are all in the mix as we contemplate the delicate balance between providing care and receiving it.
It's a story that is both a celebration of the extraordinary commitment of medical professionals and a confrontation with the complex and layered realities of healthcare - a nexus of personal battles, societal challenges and systemic inequities intertwined with the relentlessness of the human spirit.
Join us for this compelling and poignant reminder of the human side of medicine and the transformative legacy of an unwavering lifelong dedication to a cause and calling.
