Percy Rogers (Part Three)
from Radical Australia · host Former runner and Melbourne GP
"Encouragement is a great thing in practise". We welcome back Percy Rogers to Radical Australia this week for the third and final instalment of our conversation with this amazing medical doctor who has done so much for so many across his years of medical practise in Australia. Percy worked until he was 86 years old. We take up this conversation at a time in his life when Percy was a single father. He worked at the Royal Women's Hospital and was a bulk-billing doctor for years. Afterwards, Percy worked as a locum in medical clinics within aboriginal settlements across Northern Australia. He loved this work and spent this time with his wife, Roz. Percy credits his longevity to a little red wine, running and his wife Roz: his three R's of life. Percy tells us he never lost his curiosity about the causes of illness and he never lost his respect for people, for being welcomed into their lives. We are so thrilled to have gotten this chance to speak with Percy this year. He is a very decent human being indeed. Thank-you so much, Percy Rogers.
