In this episode we meet Scottish nurse Michael Shek, from Dumfries.

Michael has recently returned from his second mission in South Sudan, the world's youngest country in the midst of a civil war. We hear Michael's story of his time in the northern town of Bentiu and he tells us about an incredible moment saving the life of a boy and his uncle at 10,000 feet.

You can read Michael's story and see pictures of his time in Bentiu here: msf.org.uk/article/south-sudan…ng-lives-amid-chaos

"Everyday Emergency" is a podcast from Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)

In each episode, we bring you true stories from the frontline of humanitarian emergencies across the world.

From the conflict in Syria to the refugee crisis in Europe, we’ll be talking to people with some incredible stories that may just change your outlook on life, or at least, for a moment, put things into perspective.

In each podcast you’ll hear a true story written by an MSFer on the ground, read by an actor. We’ll then get them into the studio at MSF HQ for a chat about their time with MSF.
