They might work in some of the most spectacular locations in Australia &; from the splendid isolation of the Kimberley and the wide open spaces of outback Queensland to the freezing icecaps of Antarctica &; but their profession demands long hours, extensive medical knowledge and, sometimes, courage beyond their experience. Meet some of the extraordinary medicos who save lives everyday beyond the great divide including Jenny Wilson, the locum with itchy feet who roams Australia and beyond to help people; Rolf Gomes, who built a &;heart truck&; to take life-saving medical advice to the inland; and Molly Shorthouse who cares for people&;s mental health. And, always, there&;s the Royal Flying Doctors&; From the bestselling author of Nurses of the Outback, Bush Doctors is a powerful and captivating tribute to all rural and remote doctors &; unsung Australian heroes who truly do care.
