Episode notes

Ali Jones is talking to our best-loved creatives about how they caught their breaks. This week Ali chats to a British doctor and radiologist, Dr Waheed Arian. Waheed was born in Afghanistan, lived as a refugee in Pakistan, and is the founder of telemedicine charity Arian Teleheal which links up local doctors in warzones with medical experts around the world.

Waheed tells Ali how his own tuberculosis diagnosis as a kid led him to becoming a doctor, why we should ignore the odds, and why he once couldn't believe people talk about washing their dogs.
