When Dr Genevieve noticed some problems with her grip and speech she put it down to stress. GP is a high pressured environment and like many doctors, she had a tendency to not worry too much about her own health. She was the first in her family to be diagnosed with myotonic dystrophy, a rare genetic condition, but she wasn't the last.
In this interview with Dr Lucy McKay from Medics4RareDiseases, Dr Genevieve talks about her diagnosis and how it has impacted her as a patient and as a doctor.
She has learned a lot and we can all learn a lot from her.
