Flying Doctor Aidan Fenoglio and his love for working for the RFDS

And now to another episode of my special Streets of Your Town series - The Outback Project - bringing the great characters and sounds of Australia’s bush to you. In all my years of reporting from outback Australia, one organisation has stood out to me from all others in all my travels, for having the respect and appreciation of everyone in the bush. And that’s the Royal Flying Doctor Service. The Royal Flying Doctor Service in Queensland operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year, doing aeromedical retrievals across the vast expanse of the state, and caring for more than 330,000 Australians each year. As well as the dramatic plane rescues, the RFDS also delivers primary and preventative health care to some of the most remote regions in Australia, and indeed the world. Today on Streets of Your Town we hear from Dr Aidan Fenoglio - who is one of the on call doctors on the roster for the RFDS, based from Brisbane, and Charleville. He gives us a glimpse into the life of an emergency doctor in one of the most pressured environments that you can practice in, from the back of an aeroplane.
