Percy Rogers joins us again this week for Part Two of our special as we learn about his professional life as a doctor in Melbourne. Percy has done a lot to change the birthing experience for women in Australia. He was appalled at the treatment of pregnant women in hospitals many decades ago and ushered in breathing techniques that were non-existent and which now are commonplace. Percy has always stood up for what is right, including helping those in dire straits with blanket drives and soup runs, small but meaningful gestures he learnt about during the Depression. He's a marvel. Percy held a position as the municipal health doctor in the Coburg area and claims this was his favourite post of them all. Percy's sense of adventure and love of learning has seen him work as a doctor in remote places such as the Cocos Keeling Islands and Papua New Guinea in the 1970s. We are very much looking forward to our last installment next week when we will learn about Percy's activism, something he still continues today. Thank-you so much, Percy.
