In this episode of From the Heart, host Sami Glastonbury sits down with Dr Stephanie Perrier, Paediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgeon at the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne. From her early training in France to performing life-changing surgeries in Australia, Stephanie shares her path into cardiac surgery and why she still sees the heart as magical.
They explore what a typical surgery day looks like, who’s in the room during an operation, and what families can expect before, during and after their child’s surgery. Stephanie also shares insights into fast-track recovery, the impact of small changes in care, and the potential of data to improve future outcomes.
This is a warm, honest and informative conversation for anyone navigating childhood-onset heart disease or wanting to understand what happens behind the theatre doors.
