'The tragedy is that he’s cognitively intact, but his body is not up to task.'
ICU registrar Dr Aquib Chowdhury, 31, volunteers to regularly visit a doctor living in aged care as a way of giving back to the profession.

I have Google to thank for my friendship with Dr Jones*.
I was looking for volunteer programs that would enable me to give back to the medical profession and provide personal fulfilment when I came across AMA Victoria’s peer visitor program.
