Welcome to the April 2026 Write Coach Podcast with published author and retired family GP, Dr. Andrew Rynne from Kildare in Ireland.
Andrew's first three books are:
The Reverend Psychopath
The Kindest Cut
The Foxhunter
What was it really like to challenge Ireland’s medical system when contraception was restricted, doctors were under pressure, and the church held influence over healthcare?
In this powerful episode, retired GP Dr. Andrew Rynne shares his extraordinary story — from becoming the first doctor in Ireland to perform vasectomies, to being fined for selling condoms, to building his own hospital from the ground up.
He opens up about standing firm in his beliefs despite opposition from the church and political system, surviving a shocking shooting by a former patient, and navigating some of the most controversial issues in Irish healthcare history.
This is a raw and honest conversation about courage, resilience, and what it truly means to stand by your values when the world pushes back.
In this episode, we cover:
• Ireland’s history with contraception and family planning
• The truth about medical resistance and church influence
• Being fined and taken to court for selling condoms
• Building a private hospital against all odds
• Surviving a life-threatening shooting
• Medical ethics, patient care, and controversial decisions
• Writing books based on real-life cases

If you’re interested in Irish history, healthcare, personal resilience, or real-life stories that challenge the norm, this episode is not to be missed.
