"I can go to the pub"

At the European Association of Urology Nurses’ annual congress in Vienna, “discretion” was the message that Daniel – a SpeediCath® Compact Male end user  from the UK – delivered to over 200 nurses. 

“I can go to the pub now!” he told the audience. “I don’t have to carry around a big bag full of catheters. I can just put it in my back pocket – so good bye bag, hello back pocket!”

Daniel is 36. Five years ago he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He gets around on his mobility scooter, but on bad days he’s not very mobile.

Daniel said it’s hard to accept his limitations, and he hates being pushed in a wheelchair. 

At the congress, he insisted on standing at the podium to address the audience. It required a lot of concentration, not to mention speaking to over 200 people.

Daniel’s very happy that he’s now “able to do more”, and the nurses really enjoyed listening to him. After all – who wouldn’t be glad to be able to “go to the pub, again?!
