Episode 17 - “I cut into people for a living.”

Dr Ros Pochin is a legend in Nelson for her work as a general surgeon specialising in breast and endocrine surgery.

Outspoken and dedicated to improving outcomes for cancer patients and training the next generation of specialists, Ros is passionate about both medicine and the wider Nelson community.

She talks to host Matt Lawrey about what it’s like to operate on another human being, how she approaches telling someone they have cancer, her views on death, what happens when we die, and lots more.
