Flying Doctors

Synopsis

This long-running and much-loved Australian series chronicles the events surrounding the activities of the Royal Flying Doctors Service, which operates its own aircraft to fly its medical staff throughout the Australian outback, where roads are too scarce and distances too immense to reach patients for medical care or get them to hospital by car in time. Doctors, nurses, pilots and base staff change throughout the seasons, often coming from the city and finding it difficult to adapt to life in the country and be accepted by the isolated local community.
