  • Log in or register to post comments

In the 1940s, an Australian nurse, passionate and determined, finds herself in the midst of a desperate struggle against polio, a devastating disease that affects both children and adults alike. Upon returning to her home country after a stint in the United States, her innovative and unconventional approach to treating patients not only touches hearts but also challenges the established norms of medicine at the time. Armed with her instinct and unwavering determination, this nurse dedicates herself to caring for those affected, employing rehabilitation techniques that some consider risky.

As her method gains popularity, it also sparks controversy within the medical community, forcing her to confront opposition from healthcare professionals who cling to tradition. With each child she manages to help, she becomes a figure of hope and admiration, but also a target of criticism for her unorthodox approaches. Her struggle is not only for the sick but also for the recognition of her revolutionary methods in treating polio.

Throughout her journey, she explores universal themes such as faith, sacrifice, and resilience in the face of adversity. Between glory and sorrow, her story becomes a testament to the power of the human spirit and the tireless pursuit of solutions in times of crisis, leaving an indelible mark on the world of medicine and healthcare.
