Episode description
At the age of 33, Ben discovered he had an inherited heart condition and would need a pacemaker to help manage it. In this episode, Molly Tresadern from the BHF speaks to Ben about what it's like to go from being a clinical lead in a hospital to a patient undergoing surgery, and what he's learned about navigating life with a pacemaker at a young age.
