Welcome to For The Health Of It Podcast. A Healthcare Australia podcast, made for Healthcare professionals by a nurse on the inside. Your host today is Jess Tully, the HCA Brand Ambassador, and she had the pleasure of interviewing Brett Connellan, a survivor of a Shark attack back in 2016.

Brett chats to Jess about that horrific day, where he faced his worst nightmare as a surfer, and had to fight for his life. The chain of events that happened during that day, with a dash of luck, is how Brett is here to tell his story today. His medical journey post attack is extraordinary and after losing ¾ of his thigh, he has had a successful latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction to his missing thigh with skin grafts, and now is walking, running marathons, and even surfing again.
