Dr. Genevieve Yates is a family physician is Australia.  While while visiting friends in Los Angeles, her partner was hit and killed while out jogging.

In her words:

Since he died, I’ve been trying to find things that are positive and helpful to make a very horrible situation feel a little less senseless. One of these is raising awareness of the dangers of unfit drivers on the road.

I put together a Pecha Kucha talk to try to raise awareness of the importance of the doctor’s role in assessing our patients’ fitness to drive.

A brave, and important, presentation everyone should watch.
