Liverpool Hospital

What was your first, what's your dig deep in the memory and what's your first memory of any sort of motorsport that you went to? I grew up

in Liverpool, western suburbs of Sydney, in Goulburn Street, just opposite Liverpool Hospital, which is only one kilometre from Warwick Farm Racetrack.

And I could hear the cars through the week practising and all, and race weekends, it was, you know, the noise was massive.

And I had a high school mate of mine who lived at Mount Pritchard, just up the road from where the Gagans lived, and he was friends with the Gagans.

Hello and welcome to Conversations in Lung Cancer Research, a TOGA podcast where we discuss the latest breakthroughs in lung cancer research and treatment for Australia and New Zealand.

My name is Professor Shalini Vinod and I'm a radiation oncologist who specialises in the treatment of lung cancer at the Cancer Therapy Centre at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney.

Thoracic Oncology Group of Australasia acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work.

We pay our respect to their elders past, present and emerging.

Today on the show, we're excited to have two leaders on this topic speaking.

So I'd like to welcome Associate Professor Rachel Roberts-Thomson, who is a medical oncologist at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Cancer Care in Adelaide, and Associate Professor Abhi Pal, who's a medical oncologist at Liverpool Hospital and Bankstown Hospital.

I'd like to welcome them to our TOGA Conversations in Lung Cancer Research.

So Rachel, I might start with you.

That's when we thought, you know, something, you know, must have, you know, happened from the collision.

So we went to, um, Liverpool Hospital and talked to a neurosurgeon.

Neurosurgeon asked, you know, him to get a, um, MRI scan.

That's when, you know, the neurosurgeon found out that he had a spinal compression.

The other driver, a 26-year-old man, freed from the vehicle by Fire and Rescue NSW, treated at the scene for head and leg injuries.

He was taken to Liverpool Hospital, a serious but stable hospital.

Investigations continue.

A report will be prepared for the information of the coroner and police would love to get dash cam vision, mobile phone or CCTV, all that kind of gear.
