Make content about: Jonny draws cartoons about Parkinson's
Jonny was an emergency doctor when a Parkinson's diagnosis forced him to rethink his work and find a new creative voice.
This story
Jonny worked as an emergency doctor in Leicester for years until unexplained fatigue, foot scuffing and hand tremors led to a diagnosis of Parkinson's in 2016. High-pressure shifts pushed him to step back from resuscitation to non-urgent hospital rounds and teaching medical students. He has also returned to drawing after twenty years, creating cartoons to help explain the condition to others.
