Question: What has been the most nerve-racking experience you have been through during lockdown or in general?

Probably when I was invited to give a talk in front of 3000 people! The thought still makes me feel a little bit sick! It was a big conference in the Hague and all of the world experts were in the audience alongside patients and families.
I practiced loads and took a really deep breath. Then went for it. I was convinced the microphone could pick up the tapping of my shoe heel, but apparently the audience couldn’t hear. I also drank loads of water out of nerves and needed to pee!
In the end it was fine but it was really nerve-racking!!
