  • The Telegraph and the Beginnings of Telemedicine in Australia
    Global Telehealth 2012 67 A.C. Smith et al. (Eds.) © 2012 The authors and IOS Press. This article is published online with Open Access by IOS Press and distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License. doi:10.3233/978-1-61499-152-6-67 The Telegraph and the Beginnings of Telemedicine in Australia Robert H EIKELBOOMa,b,1 a Ear Science Institute Australia, Subiaco, Australia b Ear Sciences Centre, School of Surgery, The University of Western Australia Abstract. The history of telemedicine is at times presented to commence in the 20th century. Events in Central Australia in 1874 show that the history goes further back, when the newly constructed telegraph played an important telemedicine role not only in enabling care for a wounded person, but also in uniting a dying man with his wife 2000 kilometres away. Innovation with the tools at hand has proven to be effective to bridge the tyranny of distance in the delivery of health care. Keywords. Telemedicine, history, Australia, telegraph Introduction Communication and information technologies are vital components in almost every telemedicine application, with advances in ICT usually driving development in telemedicine. The beginnings of telemedicine are to be found in the invention of the telegraph, with wireless, telephones, television, imaging devices, and the Internet all adding to the utility of telemedicine. Aronson [1] recounts the first reported use of the telephone for telemedicine in 1879 when a doctor listening to the cough of an infant reassured the grandmother that it was not croup and refused to attend for a house call.

  • CITIZENS of HEAVEN on EARTH 20Th Sunday After Pentecost (October 18 • 2020)
    CITIZENS OF HEAVEN ON EARTH 20th Sunday after Pentecost (October 18 • 2020) BIBLE READING Matthew 22:15-22 REFLECTION People say that there are two things that are certain in life: death and taxes. Yes, we cannot avoid taxes as much as we cannot avoid death. Last year, a family in Tasmania was ordered by the court to pay over $2 million to the tax office. They were fined because they failed to pay income tax. They believed that paying taxes went against God’s will. For them Australian tax law was against God’s law, which was the supreme law of the land. “Transferring our allegiance from God to the Commonwealth would mean ... breaking the first commandment,” they said. They further argued that all the disasters that had happened in Australia were the results of people disobeying God’s law. But, the Judge, who gave the sentence, rightly disagreed. He reminded them that there nothing in the Bible that says, “Thou shall not pay tax!” 1 In the Judge’s view, the Bible says that “civil matters and the law of God operate in two different spheres.” 1 Unfortunately, this family’s behavior is not exclusive to them. There has always been a tendency amongst people of faith to separate themselves from the world. One of the most influential theologians in the 20th century is Richard Niebuhr He is well known for articulating five paradigms that Christians use to relate to the world: 1. Christ against culture. 2. Christ of culture. 3. Christ above culture. 4. Christ and culture in paradox.

  • A Draft for the Assignment
    THE MISSIONARY WOMEN IN THE INLAND OF AUSTRALIA AND THE AUSTRALIAN INLAND MISSION AS REPRESENTED IN BETH BECKETT’S LIFE MEMOIR Evi Eliyanah ([email protected]) Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia Abstract: This article looks at the gender dimension of religious missions adminis- tered by the Presbyterian Church in the inland Australia as represented in Beth Beck- ett’s life memoir written in 1947-1955. It is aimed at obtaining general ideas on the involvement of women, as the wives of missionaries, Focusing on the experience of Beth Beckett, it argues that her position as a wife of a missionary is problematic: on the one hand she did transgress the traditional idea of staying-home wife by choosing to travel along with her husband, but at the same time, she was still bound by the domestic side of the job. Key words: Australian Inland Mission, Beth Beckett, Memoir, Gender This article critically examines the gender dimension of the missions ad- ministered by the Presbyterian Church in the inland of Australia, known as the Australian Inland Mission (AIM). Looking at the role of women, especially the missionary wives in the missionary process: the roles they took up and their agency in being involved in the mission, the essay focuses on the experience of Beth Becket, an ex-AIM-nurse married to a patrol padre. Critically analyzing her memoirs, written in 1947-1955, the article offers general ideas on the in- volvement of women, as the wives of missionaries, in the mission field during the mid twentieth century. Bringing together the thoughts and ideas poured in the writings on women and the mission enterprise in the British colonies, the 107 108 TEFLIN Journal, Volume 21, Number 2, August 2010 memoirs will be scrutinized in terms of women agency and women’s specific roles on the mission.

    The Flying Doctor This unit of study has been designed for use in conjunction with other Beacon Media resources: Themes for Christian Studies Level 5: God is a servant Pages may be copied for student use only. © Beacon Media 2010 Contents Introduction 2 The story of John Flynn 3 The Flying Doctor 1928 6 Morse Code 8 The Flying Doctor today 10 www.beaconmedia.com.au 1 The Flying Doctor God is a servant Do you know what a servant is? A servant is a helper. A king or queen has servants to help them with running the palace. Servants do whatever their master wants them to do. When you are a Christian you have a master. That master is Jesus. We do whatever Jesus wants us to do. We find out what he wants us to do by reading the Bible and listening to his voice. We are servants of Jesus. But to be a servant of Jesus is not a difficult or boring job. It is a very exciting job because Jesus is with us in the job he calls us to do. Many years ago there was a Christian man called John Flynn who was called by God to help people in outback Australia. There were often emergencies, and the people lived too far away from medical help. Maybe they had an accident or got bitten by a snake. What would they do so far away from a doctor? Then John Flynn thought of an idea. He would start the Flying Doctor Service, so that a plane could quickly get to people in need.
