Frank Madill is a Tasmanian doctor, retired politician,
community worker and now an author.
He has just released his second book about his working life as a General Medical
Practitioner and farming in Northern Tasmania.
It All Comes Back to Sheep! Farming: Warts and All
Telling the story of his journey from the simple farming background in Victoria to
practising medicine in Tasmania in the 1960s and 1970s.
In this instalment, he tells of how he combined his medical practice with sheep farming
and got a lot more than he bargained for!
If You Faint, Fall Backwards! Medicine: Warts and All
If You Faint, Fall Backwards, combines eccentricity,
humour, larger than life characters and a taste of life as it used to be Australia in
the sixties and seventies.
These stories follow Frank's progress through medical school in Melbourne and Tasmania
where he trained as a resident at the LGH and then became a general practitioner in
Launceston's northern suburbs.
Heart warming, funny and sometimes wrenching, the spectrum of one doctor's early
experiences is here, told in an open and engaging way that is sure to make you feel
like he is sitting you down and telling you a great yarn.
