Product Overview

Three years ago, in Desperately Seeking Doctors, feisty and outspoken Scottish GP Dr Mary Fortune answered an urgent call to help ease the shortage of doctors in regional Western Australia. Her brief encounter with Aboriginal health touched a nerve. So now she's back for a three-month stint in an Aboriginal health service in Kununurra in the remote, rugged and scenic north-west of Australia. In Desperately Seeking Doctors: The Kimberley, Dr Mary brings a brave heart and a fresh eye to the challenges of Australian health care.
