  • A couple of the images overplay the stereotypes - the ute-driving doctor with the stethoscope around his neck, waving to people in the street; the singer relaxing on the hammock on the verandah.

    ...not sure about the harmonica.

    The song would be a winner at Tamworth.

    We'll know it has been a success when it gets spoofed on The Chaser.

    Well, I liked it, and I look forward to the next one.

    Who are the singer, guitarist, and harmonica player? Rural medical generalists?

  • Thanks for the comments.

    To answer your question:

    Vocal and lyrics: Sara Harrup (ACRRM Voc Training Manager)

    Music, guitars, keyboards and harmonica: Dr Neil Beaton (Med Super - Atherton Hospital)

  • Great work, must remember to post a clip of me wiping my hairy arse with my RACGP fellowship certificate after receiving the vastly superior FACRRM award...,

  • Top work Lex.

    Top work ACCRM.

    It makes me proud to be a doctor... and I'm not that kind of doctor!!!

    Seriously, it's beautiful. It is revelatory and rare in its representation life in the country as an ADVANTAGE of being a country medico. I liked it very much.

    (And I am posting you a song of my own. I hope you don't mind.)

  • Great motivator for bush doctors.

  • Perhaps there is too much emphasis on procedural practice and physical exam - it would have been good to have at least one image of a standard consultation showing a GP listening to a patient (with computer on desk!).

    There are no images of GPs being woken from sleep and driving in to the hospital at night when it's raining.

  • Well done - looks good, sounds good. Well produced - the 'fade in - fade out' images work well.

    The video presents a positive spin on rural life and rural practice - the days are bright and relaxed, there's a beautiful sunset, a deserted beach, and everyone smiles. The RFDS plane taking off at the end of the video is a good metaphor for freedom and purpose in rural life and work.

  • Good work from your dad Ashmore - it is cool

  • cool - my dad made this video
