Episode 145 hosts Caitlin King (Registered Nurse based in Melbourne, Australia)
Caitlin has background in acute and perioperative nursing. She completed a Bachelor of Nursing, Post Graduate degree and is currently completing a Masters Degree in Nursing. She continues to works part-time in the operating theatre of one of Sydney's largest hospitals whilst also injecting part-time under the business name, 'Plump Me'.
Caitlin joins us in our 1st Chapter of a new mini-series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes will feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe. Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we'll showcase every level of injector, from newbies to masters. We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and businesses and aim to learn from and inspire our injector listeners.
