Episode Details

This piece is a catch up with a popular contributor on TopMedTalk, Ross Kerridge, John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle, Australia, (often cited as 'the father of Modern Perioperative Medicine), for an update on how Australia appears to have managed to broadly keep a lid on this crisis. Social distancing, quick action and border controls appear to have worked to forestall the impending crisis.
