  Two Heart Attacks, One New Mission

  Aug 10, 202626 minS4

  At 41, Kieran Bush thought he was doing everything right. He had lost weight, was walking regularly and felt healthier than ever. But in July 2025, after what seemed like an ordinary day in Darwin, Kieran became violently ill and experienced a moment of terrifying clarity: he needed help immediately. In this episode of Stories from the Heart , Kieran shares what it was like to survive two heart attacks, including one while being transported to hospital, and how that experience now informs his work as a Consumer Engagement Officer with the Menzies School of Health Research. Through his role at Menzies, Kieran helps connect researchers, clinicians and First Nations communities so health information is culturally appropriate, understandable and shaped by the people it is designed to support. His own heart story adds another layer to that work, giving him a deeply personal understanding of why clear communication, trust and community voices matter.
