A short monologue about the life of public health pioneer Dr Duncan who was the UK's first Medical Officer of Health, appointed in the 1840s when the average age of death in the poorer districts of Liverpool was 19 and the British army rejected 75% of Liverpool men on health grounds, declaring that they were "unfit to be shot at".
