The Athlete Who Became a Doctor, Then a Voice for Her Community | Dr. Sophie Scamps

Plovdiv, Bulgaria, 1990. Sophie Scamps was nineteen, an 800-metre runner who was not confident out of the blocks, on a 4x400 relay team nobody expected to win. One of her teammates did not want to start. So she said she would. Australia won gold. Most people know Dr Sophie Scamps as the Member for Mackellar. This hour is about the runner, the emergency doctor, and the daughter of a GP who followed him into the job. "You have a choice in life. You can either be a spectator yelling from the sideline… or you can put yourself in the race."
