Today we’re continuing our inspirational 2023 Winter Series with a story from a true Aussie battler.... Meet Laraine, a nurse in the Trauma Centre Emergency Department who, until very recently, didn’t think she could see an endpoint.  As she would later share with us... “I have been kicked and knocked out, and I get sworn at every shift (literally).  I stay for the people that we can save as a team. However, sometimes the sadness is relentless.
