    Gratitude - an aortic dissection and an unexpected journey

    By Mark Bowyer / Last updated 10 Aug 2020
    2020 is shaping up as the most eventful year in our lives for many of us. For me it took an especially dramatic turn on 4 May when I suffered a deadly medical condition known as an aortic dissection. Life saving surgery and 5 weeks of care (and another operation) at Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) hospital got me through it. In this video I reflect on one of the most consequential journeys of my life.

    Rusty Compass listings are always independent. We list the places we think are worth knowing about. Our Featured Listings allow a small selection of businesses already recommended by us, to pay a fee for a place at the top of our list. That’s it. Featured Listings have no impact on reviews, or on the curation and independence of our lists.
