Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast

Dr. Mohammed Bellal is a consultant urologist based out of Birmingham, UK. He specializes in complex functional reconstructive surgery. He’s also the UK’s first paralyzed surgeon. Dr. Bellal has probably one of the most powerful talks we’ve ever heard called “The Gift of Adversity”. During our conversation with him, we explore the power of fate, and how letting go of the outcomes is such a difficult but powerful life lesson we all need to learn. We also delved deeply into how Dr. Bellal has adapted to his paralysis and has come back to practice as a surgeon, and his insights on how we might design the operating rooms of the future.
