She worked with marginalised groups in society, including those with Hepatitis C, and went to the Pacific Islands for a year as a volunteer doctor.Her life changed in her early forties when she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. At that time, she was the breadwinner for a family of four children. They had to give up expensive bread, and she had to change her type of medical work.Around that time Katrina realised she had a few stories she wanted to tell, starting with The Bones, which is her first novel.Katrina was proud to receive the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2018 for services to medicine.visualizza meno
