Success in medicine is rarely linear. It is shaped by timing, trade-offs and the support systems around you. Bongiorno Group Director Nick Fennessy speaks with orthopaedic surgeon Dr Tharsa Thillainadesan about and building her career while raising a young family. She reflects on the role of mentors, the realities of balancing competing demands, and the importance of support both at home and professionally. A central theme is financial discipline, asking questions, and seeking specialist advice early, particularly in navigating investments, structuring income, and planning ahead. 

The Money Doctors is proudly brought to you by leading financial services organisation the Bongiorno Group, the Victorian & Tasmanian Regional Alliance Partner of the Australian Orthopaedic Association.
