‘I’ve changed as a doctor’: GP at the heart of the second wave tells her story
Dr Mariam Tokhi pays tribute to the power of community and the wonders of public health
Dr Mariam Tokhi was one of the thousands of GPs in Melbourne who experienced first hand the harsh realities of the stage four lockdown.
The city came through the second wave outbreak. But it took 112 days under heavy social restrictions. Vulnerable lives were turned upside-down and more than 800 people died.
But as Dr Tokhi’s account makes clear, communities came together, bound by fear, exhaustion but also hope.
This is her tribute.
