Doc of the Antarctic
Episode 3 of 5
Dr Phil Hammond narrates the experience of Dr Claire Lehman's stint in the British Antarctic Survey research station of Rothera, as she watches for killer whales and frostbite.
GP Phil Hammond compares his commute to that of Claire Lehman, who travelled to work via Madrid, Santiago and the Falkland Islands before flying into Rothera in the Antarctic.
As she watches for killer whales, carries out postmistress duties, cooks for her colleagues and prepares for potential Antarctic casualties, the differences between this remote job and the life of a typical GP like Phil is brought sharply into focus.
Produced by Lucy Adam.
