Synopsis

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 inspired her to return.

So now she’s back for a three month stint in an Aboriginal health service in Kununurra in the remote rugged and scenic North Western region 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.
