Patricia McPherson (Part 4) – A Pioneering Life
By 1972, Patricia McPherson had finished a decade of work in the Kimberley region of Western Australia,first as a sister at the AIM Hospital Fitzroy Crossing, and then as the pioneer of itinerant nursing in the Aboriginal camps.
Her Kimberley experiences had left her with two life-changing consequences.
One was her realisation that she wanted to dedicate her professional life to community health.
The second consequence was the meeting between Sister Pat, a legend of a nurse, and Luke McCall, the legendary outback stockman. Their lifelong friendship endured across the continent of Australia and across time.
