As she reflects upon her time in Zambia, Georgia shares her motives for coming to practice medicine in Africa and explains how she has grown personally and gained confidence as a result of the experience. Georgia shares with us the moving story of the death of an 18 month old baby before it’s father’s eyes, how he crumples, sobbing to the floor.
