The Royal Flying Doctor Service crew at Broken Hill are reeling from a catastrophic car crash at the White Cliffs rodeo. After a staffing mishap left the team without the support of a doctor, flight nurse Pete was forced to work outside his scope of practice.
Mid-flight Pete performed an incredibly risky procedure to save a patient’s life. While it seemed to be a success at the time, the ramifications were severe. The impact of his decision to perform the procedure affects everyone who works at the base as their conduct is called into question.
