Description

This week in the studio my guest entered the Australian Army on a scholarship to study medicine, never knowing where his completed studies and job requirements would take him. My guest spent 5 years of his career splitting his time as a doctor between the SAS and the 2nd Commando Regiment. My guest has experienced 4 operational tours to Afghanistan where he walked a fine line between the ability to kill the enemy on the battlefield and save those lives around him with the same hands and mindset. My guest after leaving the Army in 2014 has held positions as a remote mine site doctor, ship doctor, Medical Director of the South Australian Prison Health service, and currently works part time in the ER of a regional hospital in between remote medical sites. He is a Doctor, a Special Operations soldier, and an author. He’s here this week to talk about having the strength to fight his demons and return to a life that he never knew was possible until his eyes were fully opened to the world around him. Please welcome the “Voodoo Medicine” Doctor himself Dan Pronk.
