Dr Richard Harris, OAM – Thai Cave Rescue Hero
•
Nick Dempsey
In this episode I speak with joint 2019 Australian of the year, Dr Richard Harris, OAM, who you might know as the anaesthetist and cave diver that played a pivotal role in the rescue of the Thai soccer team that became trapped in a flooded cave in 2018. I speak with him about how he came to be involved in the rescue efforts, the risks associated with the sedating the young boys and diving them out through a narrow cave, the feelings he had when realising they had all survived and how he views it all now, five years on.
