title: Helen Mary Caldicott. Doctor to the planet.
abstract: A very strong sense of vocation to become a doctor since the age of eleven led Helen Caldicott into her profession of healing. This passion to heal has become global in the sense that Helen sees the earth as a living organism requiring the fundamentals of caring-preventive care, continuing care and fighting chronic 'illness'. General practitioners who were present at her keynote opening address at WONCA in Vancouver 1992, marvelled at the powerful and logical impact of her presentation about the preservation of our earth.
