Tracey, what helped you to make that shift from interest to action?
12:07
action?So I was working in a neuro team.
12:11
I absolutely loved my work.
12:13
I mainly worked with, um, well, it was working age people, um, with things like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, young strokes, MND.
12:23
And, um, most of my patients, when they were ready for a wheelchair, were really happy to accept one.
12:29
But I noticed that people with multiple sclerosis were really reluctant to accept a wheelchair, and I wondered why that would be.
12:37
Um, so I, I went to the journals, and I had a look, and I couldn't really find an answer.

Um, Tracy, just coming to you, um, have there been any moments in this journey so far that have really hit you hard, like Gail was just saying? Or on the flip side, any moments that have really built you up, um, and made you see yourself, uh, in a more positive light as an occupational therapist?
