A paediatrician's inspiring journey of finding meaning amidst chaos and addiction In 2018, palliative paediatrician Alastair McAlpine shared the profound wisdom of his young patients, revealing what they enjoyed most in life and what gave it meaning.

With the help of metal music and ice cream, he persevered, finding purpose in the chaos and inspiring others along the way. This poignant account offers a glimpse into the challenges and rewards of paediatric medicine, and the resilience required to overcome personal and professional obstacles.
