Australian Story: Feb 25

Monday’s Australian Story profiles Aeromedical Retrieval Doctor and Generalist Anaesthetist at Royal Flying Doctor Service, Tim Duncan.

Tim Duncan was a junior doctor, on the brink of leaving medicine for a filmmaking career, when he found himself in desperate need of medical care.

Lying by the side of an outback road, with critical injuries, he knew his only hope for survival was immediate medical attention.

In that moment, as his life was ebbing away, Tim made a pact: if he survived, he would devote himself to emergency medicine.
