    #116 How Mick hurt his back on the Birdsville Track

    When Mick Oates woke up in his campervan, completely unable to move, he couldn't even recall how he'd ended up there. As anyone who has had the opportunity to travel outback Australia already knows, taking 'the road less travelled' doesn't always go exactly to plan! But for Mick, a series of unfortunate events had finally caught up with former police officer's spine. Mick had officially 'done his back' on the Birdsville track! This is also the story of how Mick and his mates found themselves returning for a third, Big Red Bash experience in Birdsville this year - carefully hiking down a sand dune in full 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' costume in the famous RFDS fundraising Drag Race. Seriously! *** Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast. It is lovely to have you along on the journey with us.

    #115 A mercy flight to Townsville was baby Selene's only option!

    Everyone knows that Mums know best...So when baby Selene's mum first noticed her one-year-old was 'just not herself', she took her straight to the local hospital. But in the Christmas holiday chaos of long waiting times and staff shortages, Hayley's feverish daughter was sent home with a diagnosis of 'viral tonsilitis'. Three days later, Selene was being airlifted by the RFDS to Townsville hospital, as she struggled to breath from the pressure of a large abscess pressing into her windpipe.  *** Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

    #114 Despite breaking his neck twice, Jaimen Hudson is living his best life

    When Jaimen Hudson became a quadriplegic at the age of 17, after crashing onto his head from a dirt bike, he refused to let his disability define him. Now a world-famous photographer and filmmaker, a husband and father and the owner of a successful eco-adventure business in the stunning Esperance region of WA, Jaimen attributes much of his life's success to his positive attitude. And it was this same positive mindset that the now 33-year-old had to draw heavily upon when, on Easter Monday 2024, he was thrown from his all-terrain wheelchair and broke his neck a second time.  **** Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

    #113 Annie got a goat stuck in her throat!

    Annabelle (Annie) Barr enjoys an adventure. 'Today is the first day of the rest of your life' is one of her favourite sayings. But when this former country newspaper columnist, rural mum and massage therapist suddenly found herself in a tiny country pub in the remote Flinders Ranges region of South Australia, choking on a piece of goat meat, she was stumped as to what to do. Annie had a goat in her throat - and it wasn't going anywhere! The single mum and her 12-year-old son found themselves surrounded by strangers, unexpectedly stranded and many miles from home. *** Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

    #112 Wildflowers, frog tea and a goanna in a hangar!

    We all have plenty of theories on what makes a happy marriage, a fulfilling career and a life of adventure and fun. But if anyone comes close to achieving the trifecta, it would probably be former RFDS base manager, Alison Fox and her husband (and current RFDS pilot) Bruce Carroll. In this amusing, inspiring and highly entertaining trip down memory lane, Alison and Bruce share the true stories - and tall tales - of their respective time spent working at the Meekatharra RFDS base in WA....and the incredible patients, community members and RFDS staff who shared their adventures.  *** Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

    #111 A swag of snake stories to keep you safe this summer

    Whether you love them or loathe them, there's no denying that snakes are an inevitable part of life in regional Australia - particularly if you live in or around our beautiful bushlands. But what would YOU do if you - or someone you were with - were to suffer a suspected snake bite? And what happens if you're hundreds of kilometers from help or emergency advice? Over a one-year period (as part of a larger, three-year study) the RFDS (Western Operations) found that 85 people from regional, rural, remote and very remote Western Australia were flown by Royal Flying Doctor Service to hospital for suspected or confirmed snake bites. While only five of these patients (6%) ultimately received a toxicologist’s diagnosis of envenomation, the research showed just how challenging a remote or regional 'suspected snake bite' scenario can be. Dr Hamish Bradley is an adjunct Lecturer, Anaesthetist and Aeromedical Retrieval Specialist and he's pretty passionate about keeping us all just a little bit safer this snake season! *** thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

    #110 Student nurse Laura was told she'd never walk or talk again

    Always wear a seatbelt. That's the message that Laura McKenney wants the world to hear loud and clear. As an 'unbelted' passenger in a catastrophic car accident in January 2023, the then 21-year-old student nurse was flung from a friend's vehicle, before the same car rolled back over the top of her. Remarkably, none of Laura's bones were broken. But the severe head injury she sustained, along with an injury-induced stroke, nearly cost Laura her life. Her family was told she might never wake up. That in all likelihood, she would never again walk or even talk. Today, Laura is walking her way through her second Oceans to Outback RFDS fundraising challenge. And she and her sister Emily are ready to tell their story. **** If you'd like to join Laura's army and the other incredible fundraisers involved in this year's Oceans to Outback, simply head to Royal Flying Doctor Service : Home (oceanstooutback.org.au) And thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

    #109 Why Farmer Brendan swam the English Channel…twice!

    Thankfully, community conversations and support services around mental health - particularly in rural and remote areas of Australia - are increasing all the time. The importance of checking in regularly with our family, neighbours and friends and even simply taking the time to care of our own wellbeing and 'headspace' is undeniable. But over 10 years ago, when Broken Hill grazier Brendan Cullen found himself lacking energy, drinking too much and simply feeling overwhelmed, he realised he needed professional help. Thanks to the support, advice and tools offered up by his local health service and the RFDS, Brendan discovered a new 'lease on life', as well as a passion for long-distance swimming. **** If you’d like to find out more about the RFDS 'We've got your back program' (WGYB) you can connect at https://www.facebook.com/wevegotyourbackprogram?mibextid=LQQJ4d  If this episode has raised immediate concerns for you or a member of your family, you can also call Lifeline on Call 13 11 14  Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.
