Governor General Comes to Town plus Lucille Teasdale

  • Résumé

  • This week, Kate brings the tale of what would have been a huge event in the life of a small community miles from any city. It was the 1930 visit by the Governor General of the time The Viscount Willingdon of Ratton. Paul has the story of Lucille Teasdale who fought the mysogeny of the 1940's to become a successful doctor and surgeon. Lucille treated and saved the lives of thousands in strife-torn Uganda, continuing to work even after she caught a mysterious unkown disease when she cut a finger during an operation. It's was AIDS. She persisted to build, along with her husband Piero Corti, probably the premier medical facility in Africa that still exists today.
