The racist email that made this doctor take on the establishment

Australia's first Indigenous eye surgeon Kris Rallah-Baker has walked a zigzag path, driven by family struggles and overcoming "unashamed racism".

The moment an eye patch is removed after cataract surgery and a patient can see clearly again: that's the moment of fulfilment for eye surgeon Kris Rallah-Baker.

It's even more rewarding for Australia's first Indigenous ophthalmologist to experience that "patch off" moment in remote Indigenous areas because Kris knows he's not just helping the patient but an entire community.
