Doctor What? Doctor Where? Stories of Rural Medicine in Victoria

 What makes a medical student or intern want to become a rural generalist? And what does that journey look like?A rural generalist is a doctor who provides healthcare to regional, rural or remote communities. They are trained in primary care, emergency medicine and an advanced skill to meet the health needs of their rural community. This is in one of a number of disciplines, with the most common being obstetrics, palliative care, emergency medicine or anaesthetics. Rural generalists are a vital piece of Australia's healthcare system, bridging healthcare gaps in areas where there aren't those other medical specialists.In this episode, we ask three doctors who are early on in their rural generalist career, what their role is like, from the good days to the more challenging ones:Dr Casey O'Connor - PGY6 doctor at Latrobe Regional Hospital, working in palliative care. She is part of the  Royal Australian College of General Practitioners training program.Dr Rachel Sultana -  PGY2 doctor at the West Gippsland Health Group in the paediatric ward. She is on the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine training pathway.Dr Will Hardy -  PGY2 doctor at Bairnsdale Regional Health Service. He is on the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine training pathway.For more information about the study and training opportunities across regional Victoria, head to the Monash Rural Health website.The North West Victoria and Gippsland Regional Training Hubs have commissioned this podcast to help medical students and junior doctors learn more about training and practising medicine in regional Australia.  Find your nearest Regional Training Hub here.

Sarah Spelsberg is an Emergency medicine Physicians Assistant and Fellow of Extreme and Wilderness Medicine (FEWM), who has spent the last 4 years working in a remote outpost in the Aleutian Islands - sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea - a truly rugged place, where ‘The Deadliest Catch’ was filmed! Sarah's desire to challenge herself and her clinical skills has enabled her to push boundaries in remote medicine delivering exceptional medical care under extreme circumstances. In this episode, host Dr Will Duffin and Sarah discuss remote and rural healthcare and Sarah’s experience of dealing with some very unconventional scenarios including: Delivering a baby outside in the rain in her pyjamas and flip flops no gloves Prolonged field care during a “cyclone bomb” aka “arctic hurricane” where no medivac was possible for a patient who was compromised from a massive pleural effusion. Sarah performed a makeshift thoracentesis with a spinal needle and empty IV bag  in a patient with a massive pleural effusion Transporting a critical patient in a Coast Guard helo past an actively erupting volcano to rendezvous with commercial medevac in Cold Bay. Building homemade ‘vent-splitters’ using bits from the island hardware store to double the ventilator capacity during covid-19. Treating dogs and cats on the island when there is no vet around, including how to sedate a dog, gain access and give morphine!   Sarah has managed to combine what’s she loves which is travel and being off the grid. She has developed skills of versatility and the ability to adapt to any situation presented to her. She is constantly working on maintaining her survival skills and capacity to create solutions out of random pieces of equipment to save lives, all whilst projecting calm to the rest of the team!   You can hear more from Sarah at this year's World Extreme Medicine Conference 13-15 November 2021, in which she’s presenting 2 sessions.   More about Sarah: Part-time: Physician Assistant Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.

Dr. Edi Albert, Associate Professor at the University of Tasmania and Director, Wilderness Education Group.Edi started out both in medicine and outdoor pursuits in the highlands of Scotland. Following completion of rural GP training, a Masters degree in education and management, and a certain weariness of climbing, mountain running and skiing in heavy rain and strong winds, he headed off to Tasmania for a working holiday and 10 years later is still there. He works as a doctor in Antarctica and Perisher Valley, and more conventionally in emergency medicine in Hobart. Amongst many trips, he has been an expedition doctor and climber to Broad Peak in the Karakoram, and Pumori in the Nepal Himalaya. He has also sea kayaked high in the Canadian Arctic and, nearer home, across Bass Strait. He has had a wide ranging career in medical education, including as a Senior Lecturer in the Tasmanian School of Medicine during which time he was heavily involved in the design and development of a new five year medical course. His post-graduate education work has been focussed on rural and remote medicine, both locally, and at a national level with the Australian College of Rural & Remote Medicine, and most recently involved the development and delivery of the Expedition Medicine Program at General Practice Training Tasmania – a unique program in Australia from which has grown a suite of short courses. In 2007 he won the General Practice Education & Training “Medical Educator of the Year” Award. He continues to juggle his clinical and educational work with sea kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking and skiing.

Host Kevin Stevenson welcomed Clive Smith, founder and CEO of Thinklabs to talk about his company's digital stethoscope.Smith has an electrical engineering background and was researching medical devices. He learned the stethoscope still worked and sounded the way it did when invented in 1816. He spent years researching how to digitize the instrument and bring exceptional sound quality. The first product hit the market in the early 2000s and would find its place in the world of infectious disease outbreaks.“We worked with units treating Ebola patients in 2014, allowing them to listen to patients while staying protected in their PPE,” Smith said.So how exactly does the digital stethoscope work? Smith explained, “It's a round puck that sits on the patient's twist and can be connected to any type of headphone.”The “puck” is small, fitting in a hand, but powerful. It would become a highly sought-after medical device during COVID-19, with new challenges. “There were new situations with COVID-19. There was drive-thru testing and a shortage of PPE. We were solving problems in real-time,” Smith said.The company also learned through a study that the device could be bagged and not dilute the sound. “It can be bagged in many layers without diminishing the sound, so healthcare workers can use pass it around, removing bags to keep it clean.”Smith noted they are continuing to improve their main product but could innovate on other devices in the future. He also shared his perspective on the future of digital health. “Telemedicine is here to stay, and remote monitoring will evolve to support this. COVID-19 was an accelerant to things already there, but now we see widespread adoption.”

For this week's episode, we are going global once again to visit remote medic Lucille Chauveau on the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia.  Alongside WEM Founder Mark Hannaford, Lucille talks us through her career as a GP working on a remote island. She considers how working, at times almost in isolation, presents it's own challenges. Lucille explores how her instincts have become a central pillar of her work, as she has to evaluate each patient for the severity of emergency and utilise emergency medevacs only when absolutely necessary.  Lucille also considers the impact of COVID on the island, from limits on alcohol consumption and curfews to closing the borders early. Lucille also explores the unique challenges that Tahiti presents when preparing for a pandemic, including the cultural differences in the family unit, in which households often comprise 3 generations, to limited resources and the need to be highly organised should COVID positive patients begin presenting.  The pair also consider Lucille's path from medical school to highly-mobile GP. Lucille details how much of the effort and time put into goes unseen, as being an adventurer is a career path you must carve for yourself. Lucille offers her top tips for young medics looking to break into this unique industry. The key to success is finding something you believe in and are truly passionate about - this will keep you focused on the end goal - and keep you motivated during the late nights and early starts.    ***  Find out more about Lucille's work -   Accessing healthcare in remote places among the elderly in French Polynesia paper.  Picturing health: global primary health care paper Facteurs Humains En Santé   *** Photo Credit: @florian_ledoux_photographer

For patients in remote regions of Australia and New Zealand telehealth has been a welcome service. The Skype-like technology allows doctors to provide consultancy services from a city-based hospital which saves the patient time and money. Orthopaedic surgeon, Dr John North, has been using telehealth from a purpose-built facility since 2012 at Princess Alexandra Hospital (PAH) in Brisbane. Dr John North will be presenting at the SA, WA and NT Annual Scientific Meeting, which is being held from 23-25 August 2018 in Alice Springs. Follow this link to view the provisional program or register online. For more information about telehealth, please refer to the websites of Australasian Telehealth Society, the College of Rural and Remote Medicine or the Australian Government's Department of Health.

An Adventure that never ended. You thought you were just trying to pass a medical exam but then you ended up in the Australian version of the Paris-Dakar Rally. Sounds like another Gonzo-Medical-Jounrnalism moment. Options. Options. Options. Rotation options. Where do you want to go to further your training? What informs your choices? Is it the specialties available? Is it a certain person that you want to learn from? Is it the real estate prices? Is it the commute? Do you take the safer option or do you look for a bit of adventure? Michelle Withers chose the adventurous option and she is still on that adventure. Michelle started in Zimbabwe and ended up in Alice Springs via a few ivory towers. Taking the adventurous option may seem like the risky one but maybe staying in your comfort zone is risky too. All over rural and remote areas there is often a lack of medical/nursing/para-medical skills. Yes there are opportunities to see new things, opportunities to be exposed to new things. If you are thinking about one of the off the beaten track jobs then you need to research it. Even though somewhere might look very exciting on a map you don’t want to end up Smolensk like Bulgakov did. (Although that did usefully inspire a collection of short stories; “A Country Doctors Notebook”.) Here on the Jellybean Podcast we are big fans of little places. Thus in order to shed some more light on the less illuminated parts of the world, to help you decide if you want to go and work there, we go and talk to the people that have done these weird and wonderful jobs. It turns out that Alice is hardly a secret anymore. We might think of it as the middle of nowhere but the folks from the Alice think of it as the middle of everywhere. 1500 klms from nearest referral centre and 1500 klms from the nearest anything. No interventional cardiology. (Stick that in your guidelines and see what happens.) We have spoken to Penny Stewart from the Alice Springs ICU before and it turns out that for a town of approx 25000 people Alice has quite a lot going on. It is an interesting combination of the worlds oldest civilisation and some of the worlds most recent trends. You may be a fly in fly out miner, you may be a well paid government consultant, you may be a displaced aboriginal elder living in a “town camp” but everyone, absolutely everyone, ends up in the same emergency department if they get sick. That is one of the best things about emergency medicine. You meet everyone. No selecting the type of person you work with/for, the door is open, anyone can come in. Alice Springs ED has a fascinating aeromedical retrieval position as a referral centre and referring centre. The retrieval service has been very closely associated with the emergency department. It could all be a bit crazy but the calm way Michelle describes it makes it almost seem normal. (Calm sounding people like Matt McPartlin and Michelle Withers make people like me seem a bit nutty.) Michelle and Matt talk about Tennant Creek and how the Emergency department collaborates with smaller emergency services that are too small to have emergency specialists. Michelle refers to “Rural Generalists” at remote locations and mentions FACRRM which stands for Fellow of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine. Never forget how much excellent emergency care is delivered by persons other that card carrying emergency specialists. It’s a great big spectrum, all the way from REBOA to Finke. Whats Finke? Well, Fine is a small remote aboriginal community but it also the end of a big and very dangerous car and bike race. Think of the Paris-Dakar with lots of macropods and better snakes! Sound scary? The medical folks in the centre sensibly use it like a big annual disaster planning exercise. With real injuries and real drama. (Photo Credit Justin Brierty)
