Hey Dr. Chaloner! Firstly, thank you for taking time out of your day to answer questions.
What brought you to volunteer? I understand you've got some military background, but did that urge you on to volunteer or were there other factors involved?
"I had been present on two separate occasions when people were blown up right in front of me in minefields." Has this affected you?
In regard to friends and family: are they concerned about your voluntary work? Have they voiced their opinions beforehand?
Personally, you're an absolute, absolute inspiration. I'm currently a medical student at King's College London and I'm considering surgery (I'm about 90% sure). I'm still trying to figure out what intercalated BSc/MSc to do, but I'm inclined towards a speciality that is related with trauma/conflict. I understand that Ortho/MaxFax may be my best options. I was born in Iraq and came to the UK early in my life, so in regard to your assistance and voluntary work, I am grateful.
P.S: you're an inspiration. I've somehow planned out my life around working as a surgeon, and in my spare time, to work abroad fixing people in conflict zones. I've been building up my portfolio, but it's heavily bias towards philosophy, ethics, theology, and epidemiology (I'm in the process of hopefully getting a paper published, so I'm quite excited!). And your life is a reflection of what I hope to work towards. Thank you Dr. Chaloner, I genuinely mean it.
In all sincerity, I won't mind going for a drink/coffee/shadow/w.e just to hear half your stories.
