Giraffe in a Hospital? Nepean Hospital on the outskirts of Sydney serving a large geographical area has a busy but under resourced emergency department. Medical equipment however can be expensive which prompted local ED nurse Carolyn Fitzpatrick to raise funds to purchase two essential items....a giraffe shaped resuscitation device and a hand held retinal camera. Total cost approx $50,000. She succeeded thanks to Rotary and in particular the support of the Lower Blue Mountains Rotary Club and Haran Ramachandran, Rotary Foundation Grants Chair. Hear how this came about and Haran's engagement with the burns unit at Concord Hospital.
