The Flying Doctor
Sometimes, when people live, work or travel in rural and remote Australia, they can run into trouble. There are accidents and injuries. There are bites, stings or illness. Australia is a large, remote, and unforgiving land, with a relatively small population. In this podcast, we talk to real patients of the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the role that the Royal Flying Doctor Service plays in serving rural and remote communities. THIS is the Flying Doctor podcast! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/...
