A Higher Calling | Antidote 2022

from Ideas at the House

Would you quit your job to serve others? These two high-achievers sacrificed successful careers in journalism to take up the rigorous study necessary to become medical doctors. What drives such a sacrifice, and how does it feel to be called to serve? Lisa Pryor, previously a lawyer and a columnist is now a psychiatry registrar, listening and responding to human stories in a different way. Amy Coopes was a journalist dispatched to meet victims of violent crimes, left the newsroom to pursue medicine in rural areas. At Antidote 2022, they spoke to Norman Swan, who famously switched from medicine to journalism, about what compelled them to abandon successful careers in order to embark on the ultra-demanding profession of medicine and how it gave their lives a bigger sense of purpose. This event was recorded live at the Sydney Opera House in September 2022. - Watch talks from Antidote 2022 on Stream, the streaming platform from the Sydney Opera House.
