Joseph Manjaly, FRCS (ORL-HNS)

I’m a consultant ENT surgeon in London, UK. The career pathway has always been competitive and demanding and of course all those years of focus and sacrifice result in the ability to transform the lives of so many patients which is a real privilege.

It’s important though, to resist the temptation to place your whole identity in your job. A happy home life and healthy varied life outside medicine also makes for better doctors. For me that came in the form of music. Ever since medical school #withoutthewhitecoat I have performed in a function band and have had the opportunity to play at many weddings and conferences around the country.

More recently I have become a parent which has been a huge blessing and brought so much joy. I’ve also been able to combine the music and parenting in creative ways as you see in this video clip!
