Manage episode 420681558 series 3564963
Today, we welcome a guest whose journey and career is in fact in dentistry. His story, however, is one marked not only by professional excellence but also by resilience, mental strength and a stark ability to overcome even the biggest patient challenges.
Ian Hutchinson is a specialist orthodontist who graduated from Newcastle University before gaining a fellowship with the Royal College of Surgeons. He now owns The Smile Lounge, a private clinic focusing on orthodontics and facial aesthetic procedures.
However, Ian’s life took a significant turn when he became the target of a nearly four-year-long stalking ordeal by an ex-patient that culminated in police discovering him with what has been described as a 'murder kit' close to Ian’s home.
In this podcast, Dr Hutchinson opens up about his experiences, the profound impact it has had on him personally and professionally, and what it has taught him about handling fear.
