Calm under pressure: the stroke physician

Mark Barber talks to Kathy Oxtoby about the variety in stroke medicine and teaching “the old fashioned way”

Geriatrician and stroke physician Mark Barber is passionate about helping patients who have had a stroke.

Describing the sudden and potentially devastating impact of stroke, he reflects on how a patient can go from being well to very unwell in a matter of minutes. “Lots of other conditions build up over months, even years, and patients may have time to come to terms with what’s happening to them,” he says. “With stroke, unfortunately, it happens like the flick of a switch.

“It’s the nice stuff I make that people want to buy or that I give as gifts. It’s the weird rejects, the things that don’t quite work, that I like to keep,” says Lindsay, a clinical research fellow at Queen Mary University London and an emergency medicine trainee who is currently doing a doctorate.

“I still have my first pots there are a lot of very small vases and awkwardly sized mugs. They’re not very functional. But things that don’t come out as planned can still be beautiful,” she says.

Lindsay finds pottery “a bit like meditating.”
