Cases that Changed Me - Whistleblowing (17 Nov 2025)
In this episode, Dr Kat Ralston speaks to Professor Edwin Jesudason about how his experience of whistleblowing as a paediatric surgeon changed his practice. They reflect on the importance of listening and creating a shared dialogue with patients, discuss how experiencing moral injury can help clinicians better understand and navigate patient suffering and explore the art of being human in medicine.
Professor Edwin Jesudason is a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine in NHS Lothian.
Dr Kat Ralston is a geriatric medicine registrar in Edinburgh. She is also the Education Co-Vice Chair and the joint Podcast Lead for the RCPE Trainee & Members' Committee (T&MC).
