Henry is articulate, eloquent, funny and brutally honest.

During this conversation, among many things, we discuss:

· Henry’s experience of transitioning from eminent neurosurgeon to cancer patient.

· How a rational person can entertain irrational thoughts.

· The challenges of hormone therapy for prostate cancer.

· Finding the balance between empathy and detachment.

· What he thinks makes a good doctor.

· Hope – finding the balance between realism and optimism.

· Decision making as a neurosurgeon and as a patient.

· Failure as a doctor.

· Henry’s relationship with running.

· Why he believes assisted dying should be legalised and his thoughts about death.

· Why being a doctor still can be the best job in the world.
