When she was just 25, Susie Ferguson became a war correspondent. She was the only woman among hundreds of soldiers serving in Iraq in 2003. None of them knew she was taking 15 painkillers a day, reliant on opioids to stem the pain of what she would later learn was endometriosis.
The former Morning Report presenter and current host of Saturday Morning has written a behind-the-scenes memoir that tells of a childhood in Scotland, bullying and treading the boards, putting on a flak jacket, motherhood and battling for her own health.
Susie joins Perlina to talk about Bloody Minded.
