The pioneering doctor, known to his colleagues as ‘Dr Al’, says it all began more than 40 years ago with frequent phone calls through the night to attend the scene of harrowing car accidents.
“At the time I would travel with my own rescue medical equipment, in my own car, so I started an advanced medical care service by default because I was asked to do it so often,” Dr. MacKillop said.
