Sonia Henry is in her early thirties and lives and works in Sydney
as a doctor. When she's not being a medic she devotes her spare
time to writing and has been published in Kevin MD (America's
leading physician blog), the Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian
Medical Students Journal, and has scientific publications in the
ANZ Journal of Surgery.
Her most widely read article was an anonymous piece, 'There is
something rotten inside the medical profession', which detailed the
stress of medical training and was shared more than 22,000 times
and re-published widely around the world. This article led to the
start of a conversation that her novel Going Under seeks to
continue. Dr Brad Frankum, head of the AMA NSW, penned an open
letter in response to her piece, as did many other doctors who
decided that it was time to speak out.
In her spare time, Sonia loves drinking wine with her friends,
eating good food, and trying to save money to travel to new and
fabulous places. She is a keen skier in the winter and likes Sydney
for its beaches in the summer. She tried to join a gym but isn't a
morning person so has replaced exercise with an extra hour of
sleep.
She is passionate about the topics covered in her book and would
love to be an advocate for change in the medical system.
