Doctor keeps demons at bay

The Advertiser: Doctor keeps demons at bay:

"Today, the Tumby Bay region's suicide rate has dropped from 45 per 100,000 people to almost zero, while the national rate has drifted along at a constant rate of about 14 suicides per 100,000 people."

This is how you cure demons. Change is action. You take a doctor like Dr. Graham Fleming. You take his spirit, his compassion, his methods. You take his capacity to deal with pain and you develop a plan. This is a great story about a man who takes what he does for granted and just does the hard yards with or without help. His humanity is astounding. His capacity to change something really awful into something positive is an ability we all need to learn. He dealt with the facts and went on from there.
