A drunk driver left my GP husband with catastrophic brain injury

As doctors, we have enormous capacity to contribute to road safety by addressing driving fitness with our patients.
This wasn’t something I thought much about until tragedy affected my family four years ago.
My husband, a multilingual general practitioner working in a challenged inner suburban demographic, was struck whilst marathon training by a drunk driver in June 2016.
He survived, but remains disconnected from us — as if he had died — due to catastrophic brain injury.
