The AusDoc team has selected some of their favourite stories from over the last year.

They range from Dr Lei Min Chen’s fight to practise again after he was suspended by the medical board to Dr Peter Goldsworthy and his cancer diagnosis.

There is also Dr Ernest Wong on finding love when you are a doctor working in a small, isolated community.

We start with Jana Pittman, a world champion and elite athlete who broke numerous world records and, on most levels, is one of life’s winners.
