Rory Douglas came back from a holiday in QLD with his partner and two teenage boys when a headache on his arrival back home in Melbourne went from an ear infection to Meningitis to collapsing and being found unresponsive. Three weeks later he woke from a coma blind with no perception of light and shade and ten years on joined Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin on the ListenABLE podcast to speak about his life without vision, the assistance of a guide dog and his life and career with disability. A wonderfully spoken and exceptional storyteller Rory's experiences won't be one you will forget anytime soon!
