Dinesh Palipana OAM is an Australian doctor, lawyer, scientist and disability advocate. He is the second person with quadriplegia to graduate as a doctor in Australia and the first with spinal cord injury. Here Dinesh provides insight into his career, how his accident changed his outlook on life, and if anyone has refused to be treated by him.

"I didn't want to die scared. I didn't want to die anxious. I didn't want to die fearful.  So while the accident was happening, I made a conscious decision to not be scared. And to think of it differently, so I pretended that I was in a rollercoaster." says Dinesh.
