  • 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.

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.
