Event Description
Come on a journey behind the battered doors of a chaotic inner-city emergency department and into the wonders of the astonishing human body.
Michelle Johnston, author and emergency physician takes you behind the scenes of Royal Perth Hospital's ED to find out about the joys, failures and triumphs in trying to fix the human body.
Michelle's latest book Fifty Beating Wonders explores the wonder of human pathology and modern medicine and why her heart beats so fast when she steps into that department.
Told over the course of one shift, be prepared for awe, absurdity, hope and the the most wondrous question of all, what makes us human?
Michelle will be in conversation with former ABC radio broadcaster and award-winning flash fiction author, Gillian O'Shaughnessy.
