Dr Simon Talbot is a pioneer in hand and arm transplantation, the Director of the Upper Extremity Transplant Program at the world-renowned Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and an associate Professor at Harvard Medical School.
Simon's corrective transplant surgeries are incredible feats of modern medicine. But in many other areas, the world of healthcare is not only falling behind but failing to protect the very people that keep it running.
Moral injury is an injury to someone's moral conscience, for example having to make a decision or witness something that goes against a personal moral code. It's an area close to Simon's heart, affecting thousands if not millions of workers in healthcare systems around the world. Simon is campaigning for a systematic change and speaks to Mihi.
