Julienne is an independent and colourful character, living in the picturesque Victorian village of Maldon, Australia's historic central gold-mining town. She is the mobile librarian, and for the past 18 years Julienne has covered a beat of 120 square kilometres, driving a semi-trailer carrying thousands of books to remote communities. Julienne has discovered a lump in her breast, but five weeks after having it removed, the cancer has spread...she is told she has only a matter of months to live. Surrounded by those closest to her, Julienne sets about organising her life and death.
Teenagers and young adults aged between 15-25 are at high risk of catching meningococcal disease primarily because of their social lifestyle and ignorance as to what precautions to take and symptoms to watch out for. This video draws on the experience of six young adults who, having battled the deadly disease, pass on their frank advice.
Meningococcal disease remains one of the last truly frightening bacterial illnesses that can be fatal despite advances in medical and intensive care. But three-quarters of all deaths could have been prevented with earlier detection and treatment. This powerful one hour documentary looks at six families whose lives have been changed by this disease - and examines how critical hours and minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Public and professional ignorance has often been the cause of deaths which could have been prevented.
Meningococcal Disease has been described as one of the most lethal infectious diseases known to man, which can kill in just eight hours from the first symptoms appearing. This half hour video tells everything you need to know about recognising the symptoms, what to do, and how to take precautions against this deadly disease. Essential viewing for parents, teachers, child carers and health professionals.
