Living Without Fingerprints - A Positive Life after Trauma

Episode 1543,   Apr 05, 2022, 04:01 AM

The life of South Aussie-born international winemaker John Weeks turned upside down when an explosion burnt 75 per cent of his body in 2014.

While he was the first in the world to undergo a revolutionary process for skin regeneration called NovoSorb, he still spent years recovering mentally and physically.

Since then he has found ways to cope with trauma, including working on his photo-biographical memoir ā€œLiving Without Fingerprintsā€ which will be presented in an author's talk at the Murray Bridge Library on Thursday 7 April.

He joins Jennie Lenman to share his story.
