Really Interesting Women - The PodcastEpisode 127DR SONIA HENRYSonia Henry is a doctor practicing in rural Australia. I mean, really rural. She’s also a best-selling author, and an advocate, not only for the welfare of overworked doctors but for the improvement of medical services to remote indigenous communities. This is a fascinating and inspiring story of how one doctor, almost on a whim, decided to leave the hustle and hassle of the city behind and took herself to one of the most remote parts of Australia to practice as a GP.And her experiences there changed her life. She has written two largely autobiographical best selling books about her experiences. The joys, the frustrations, the triumphs and tragedies. She outlines the myriad of problems and potential solutions. And here's a novel approach...when faced with the huge gap in healthcare treatment and availability for first nations people, she just asked her indigenous patients what they would need. Head to the link in my bio for Sonia's episode.Sonia's books are:Going Underhttps://www.booktopia.com.au/going-under-sonia-henry/book/9781760878641.htmlPut Your Feet in the Dirt, Girlhttps://www.booktopia.com.au/put-your-feet-in-the-dirt-girl-sonia-henry/book/9781761068072.htmlVisit instagram @reallyinterestingwomen for further interviews and posts of interesting women in history.
