Time to Heal: Tales of a Country Doctor

This colourful story about the life of a country doctor nearing the end of his career, is shocking, sad, and funny in all the right places. Alongside descriptions of new ways of relieving the suffering of his patients, Doctor Dixon also expresses his frustration at a health system let down by top-heavy-regulation, performance management, and a culture of blame. The result? Young doctors are deterred from entering General Practice…and it’s the patients who lose out! The book also explores why and how paramedics could provide the answers.
