title: Death in the desert.
abstract: David Cooke enjoyed eight weeks of general practice in the Northern Territory, but he expresses some misgivings about the health of some Territorians. His experiences in the Outback contrast vividly with his time in Saudi Arabia, which he wrote about in the January issue of Australian Family Physician.
