Many doctors chose to leave their practice during WWII and sign up for the Australian Army medical corps. Our subject today was one such doctor.
Dr. Leslie MacDonald Outridge was born in Brisbane on the 1st November 1900. He was a graduate of the University of Sydney in 1924, and then returned to practice in various locations around Queensland before settling on Gympie to set up his own practice.

General Practice Past: Dr Ettie Lyons
If any of you follow my Facebook or twitter feeds you will know me to be a proud (and recently vocal) General Practitioner. You will also know that in the last little while my specialty has taken a political beating and I am not the only GP feeling more than a little devalued and questioning my choice of career.
I had been planning and researching this particular series for a while - delayed as always due to a busy life. I'm bringing it forward for my own purpose - to find inspiration in the amazing doctors who went before me in this remarkable specialty of mine.
We will start with Dr. Ettie Lyons.
