Summary

Beyond the Initials: A Doctor’s Journey of Identity and Resilience

Dr SA. If you saw my initials you would not know what they represent except that I am a doctor. My first name is Sarah. So now you know that I am a female doctor. What if I told you that my last name was Arachchi? Would you ask me how me to pronounce it, and later where it originated from? What if, when I spoke, you heard my thick Australian accent? Would you wonder how I got here?
