Monique Murphy - Paralympic Silver Medalist Swimmer, Amputee, Disability Advocate, EndoWarrior.

Paralympic Silver Medalist Swimmer, Monique Murphy was at a University party in Melbourne when her drink was spiked and she fell from a 5 story balcony onto a glass roof. While she was in a coma for the week following her accident her parents were wrongly informed that her accident was a suicide attempt. 

Blood donors saved Monique's life after her accident and she has gone on to remarkable achievements, representing Australia as a Paralympic swimmer and incredible work in disability advocacy. In this episode she superbly articulates the differences in her interactions with the medicals system when comparing the treatment of her injuries to the assertions made about her mental health and her long road to a diagnosis of Endometriosis and the impact the condition has had on her life and swimming career.
