This much I know: Pixie McKenna

I always knew I’d be a doctor. I grew up in Cork where my father was a GP and I’m the third generation of doctors in my family.

As kids, we were very much involved in his work. We all mucked in and helped out. We knew his patients. We even knew which ones were genuinely sick.

I was a pain in the arse as a child. I grew up in a household with four older brothers, the only girl. I was always standing on the kitchen table reciting French poetry or wanting to present the Eurovision or to play at Wimbledon.
