  • "Ask Jeeves Told Me My Life Was Over": Redefining Life With Multiple Sclerosis

    "Ask Jeeves Told Me My Life Was Over": Redefining Life With Multiple Sclerosis
    Jan 7 2026
    It started with clumsiness at high jump. Then, midway through Year 12, Deanna Renee woke up partially blind in one eye. At just 17, she was diagnosed with *Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Her classmates shunned her, convinced MS was a contagious STI. The internet told her she’d be in a wheelchair by 25. Today, she is a viral content creator, proving them all wrong. In this raw and often hilarious episode of the Well Summer Series, Claire Murphy sits down with Deanna to discuss the reality of growing up with a chronic neurological condition. They cover the isolation of high school, the darkness of her early 20s and the "bohemian doctor" who finally gave her hope. Deanna also opens up about the unique challenges of living with an invisible disability - from being "uninvited" to Schoolies to battling "Karens" in car parks who don't believe she's sick enough to be there. Plus, we learn how she turned her MRI scans into art and became a viral advocate on TikTok. Get ready to have your perceptions challenged by a woman who refuses to let a diagnosis define her future. *MS is the most common acquired chronic neurological disease affecting young adults, often diagnosed between the ages of 20 to 40 and, in Australia, affects three times more women than men. As yet, there is no cure. There is no known single cause of MS, but many genetic and environmental factors have been shown to contribute to its development. In MS, the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the fatty material – called myelin – around the nerves. This results in a range of symptoms, but no two people experience MS in the same way.**Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide and mental health struggles.

  • Why Alcohol May Hit Harder Before Your Period & The "Never-Ending Wipe"

    Why Alcohol May Hit Harder Before Your Period & The "Never-Ending Wipe"
    Jan 4 2026

    Welcome to another episode of your Well Summer Series! We know that "relaxing" over the holidays is not always the reality, and that your calendar is probably bursting at the seams. So, we've condensed the show into bite-sized episodes - perfect for a quick drive to the shops or a 20-minute breather from the chaos.

    In this episode, Claire Murphy and Dr Mariam are back at Med School to investigate why one drink may sometimes send you over the edge while other times you can drink all night without feeling it. (Hint, it could be to do with where you are in your cycle...)

    And in the Quick Consult, Mariam answers a listener's question about a rarely discussed issue: The "never-ending" wipe and suggests simple bowel habits to fix this. If you find yourself wiping a dozen times or discovering "skid marks" later in the day, this episode is for you!

  • "We Waited For Someone Else's Worst Nightmare" A Mum's Fight To Save Her Son

    "We Waited For Someone Else's Worst Nightmare" A Mum's Fight To Save Her Son
    Dec 31 2025

    Happy New Year! We are kicking off 2026 with a story that will squeeze your heart in more ways than one.

    Imagine welcoming a perfectly healthy baby boy, only to be told ten days later that he has suffered heart failure after catching a common virus. That was the reality for Catie. Her son, Tom, was just a precious little newborn when an infection left him fighting for his life.

    The trauma that this caused to his heart meant he had to be kept alive for months by a huge 160kg machine known as a Berlin Heart while they waited for the impossible: A donor match.

    But waiting for a heart transplant is a unique kind of limbo. You are waiting for a miracle for your own child, while knowing another family has to face tragedy for it to happen.

    In an emotional episode of our Well Summer Series, Catie joins us to share the harrowing harrowing yet incredibly hopeful journey of the boy that they call Tiger Tom, the life-saving reality of organ donation, and what life looks like now for this precocious nine year old boy.
