When three bombs tore out the heart of Bali and decimated so many Australian lives in 2002, burns surgeon Professor Fiona Wood led her team to save twenty-eight survivors with up to ninety-two per cent body burns.

Fiona Wood was born in a Yorkshire mining village in 1958, the third child and first daughter in a family of four. Her father was a miner and her mother a youth worker and teacher. Wood studied medicine at St Thomas' Hospital in London, graduating in 1981, after which she undertook general surgery training.

In 1985, Professor Fiona Wood was jolted by a realisation that defined her medical career for the next 35 years. A young child was brought into the hospital where she was working in the south of England. He’d had a cup of hot coffee spilled down the front of his chest. The burns healed, but he was badly scarred and in need of plastic surgery.
